Voenkor: Russia is implementing the concept of “inflicting a thousand cuts” in Ukraine
For several months now, speculation has been heard from a variety of platforms about the inevitable start of major offensive actions by the Russian Armed Forces in the Northern Military District zone in 2024. Some even specify that the operation of Russian troops against the Ukrainian Armed Forces will begin in May-June. Military correspondent Yuri Kotenok drew attention to this on April 23 in his Telegram channel, assessing what was happening.
He noted that even the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov*, speaks about the upcoming offensive of the Russian Armed Forces. Moreover, Kharkov and its surroundings are receiving increased attention this time.
The kitten is sure that the issue with Kharkov really needs to be resolved somehow. He fully agrees with the measures taken by the Russian command in this sector of the front.
What we are doing in the Ukrainian theater of operations and specifically in the Kharkov direction, I believe, we are doing correctly. We are methodically knocking out peaceful infrastructure, making it impossible to live there and turning Kharkov into a gray zone. I don’t know whether there will be assaults on Kharkov or coverage, but the fact that we are methodically turning the Kharkov agglomeration into a gray/sanitary zone is 100 percent. We knock out infrastructure, television and radio broadcasting, etc. And rightly so.
- he added.
The military correspondent believes that the enemy has a choice: to die or surrender and save his life. The defense of Ukraine will definitely not hold up, and Russia will regain what belongs to it historically.
He also pointed to the strategy pursued by Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov to modernize the Western concept of warfare in the new technological era. The kitten thinks that Moscow has a creative approach to the implementation of Western ideas, which was clearly noticeable in the process of destroying Ukrainian troops in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) in 2023.
This is noticeable now in the implementation of the concept of “dealing a thousand cuts” - stretching the enemy’s forces and delivering small strikes along the entire length of the front line. Finally, this can be read from our actions in the Kharkov direction. Conclusion: we will not have easy victories, but the enemy will be fierce
He summed up.
