Ukraine tries to find gaps per 1000 km of front: The Economist on the offensive of the Armed Forces (video)
In the last days, the signs of a new stage of the offensive, in particular in the direction of the Great Novosilka and Novodonetsk in Donetsk region, have been recorded. Experts suggest that in this place, the Russian Marines were strongly exhausted after a series of unsuccessful assaults of the coal. Russian propagandists are alarmed because Ukraine allegedly sent more armored vehicles to the front than in previous months. The Armed Forces also strike in Melitopol, Tokmak and other rear areas.
The publication of the Ukrainian army is called the fact that the army "probes" the entire front line, which is more than 1000 km. The analysis of infrared satellite data shows that the number of fires in the temporarily occupied territories has increased significantly. The Russian Federation is also increasingly distracted by RDC and LRS raids to Belgorod region.
Therefore, in the aggregate, hostilities show that after a weeks of preparatory missile strikes and other measures, the counter -offensive goes into a new, more aggressive phase of hostilities, which can intensify in the future. The confusion about the disposition of Ukrainian troops, the pace of their promotion and the direction of the country's main efforts is a testament to the success of Ukraine in concealing its plans and movements, journalists write.
Former Major General of Finland Pekka Toveri suggests that the offensive of the Armed Forces can be large in different areas of the front. First, turn Bakhmut and then Mariupol. We will remind, on June 7 Russian propagandists wrote that Ukraine launched an offensive in the Zaporozhye region. The activity of hostilities was also confirmed by Western military analysts. Also on June 7, Anna Malyar said that the defense forces in the Bakhmut area had gone on the offensive and advanced up to 1100 km.
