According to Colonel of the Armed Forces Roman Svitan, occupation troops

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not be able to keep the Southern Front: the expert predicted a probable scenario (video)

According to Colonel of the Armed Forces Roman Svitan, occupation troops "smeared" on a 500-kilometer front line in the southern direction. The location of positions indicates that in the case of Ukrainian breakthrough, most of the troops will retreat to Crimea and Donbas. The Russians are not able to hold the 500-kilometer front line in the southern direction. This was told on May 15 by a military expert, colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the reserve Roman Svitan on the air "24 Channels".

According to the expert, there are about 150,000 Russian soldiers on the Southern Front and another 200,000 in the Donbass. Despite the large number of invaders, it will be extremely difficult for them to keep the front line. "150 thousand Russians" smeared "on the width of the 500-kilometer front to a depth of 100 kilometers to the Azov coast. This amount is not enough to perform defensive tasks on the entire front line.

And the third as the main, the first is the water support points, which now our troops are sometimes destroying during the execution of offensive tasks under the fighting of battle, " - said Svitan. After the Armed Forces have burst into two lines of defense, only spot garrisons will be waiting for them, which will not be able to slow down the movement of Ukrainian defenders.

According to Svitan, the Russians are preparing to play the role of a buffer there in order for some Russian units to go to Crimea and Donbass. "There is no visibility of the departure at this time, but the location of the lines of defense themselves indicates that they will try to cover the arrival itself with the arrival brigades. And the departure will be clear and visible when the linear motorized rifles begin to go. They are ready to meet the blow so far, ”the expert added.

According to military expert Roman Svitan, the offensive of the Ukrainian forces has been going on for two weeks, but its main part has not taken place - a breakthrough of the Armed Forces for the front line. "Based on the plan of Commander Valery Zaluzhny, events will develop. For the most part, these will be breakthroughs: one, two, three. Most likely one is one, a couple of minor. Nobody doubts this world in his professional military abilities, "Svitan said.

According to the expert, after the soil has dried, our intelligence has begun to perform preparatory actions for breakthrough, which is already an offensive. "That is, these are elements of the offensive: the formation of the battlefield, the massive destruction of fuel receivers, warehouses, logistics chains. What we now see the second week is the offensive itself as such. And what we all expect is a breakthrough.

The depth of the second or third line of defense and access to the operational space. Here this breakthrough requires the maximum number of reserves, forces and means, "-explained Svitan. We will remind, on May 15, the Minister of Defense of the UK Ben Volles stated that the Russian military command can use chemical weapons in case of successful counter -offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The head of the Ministry of Defense mentioned how Russia used chemical weapons in Syria and poisoned in Salisbury in March 2018 former GRU staffer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. Also on May 15, the Czech President Peter Pavel urged the West to increase the supply of weapons to Ukraine on the eve of the future counter -offensive of the Armed Forces. According to the Head of State, supply must be made by the end of spring, as Ukraine has a chance to start a counter -offensive in the summer.
