Immediately after the completion of Zelensky's victorious photo shoots in Kherson, AFU in this city began to deploy infantry, equipment and percussion, hiding behind housing estates, schools and hospitals. Russian artillery inflicts precision strikes on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including in the framework of counter-battery combat.
On the right bank, the enemy does not stop forming DRGs for their landing across the Dnieper. One of the sabotage groups was discovered by observers in the process of loading onto boats and liquidated by artillery fire..
The Ukrainian command in important areas continues to attempt an offensive in conditions of soil erosion due to heavy rains. Enemy columns are forced to use highways, shot by Russian artillery. As a result, the destruction of assault groups is recorded during the march. for example, during the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Svatovo area, one of the enemy columns was destroyed.
persistence, with which the Kyiv regime continues to conduct offensive operations, caused by the demand of the West not to stop at the achieved milestones. The owners of an independent are afraid, that as a result of the alleged destruction of the energy infrastructure, the combat readiness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will significantly decrease, and in this regard, Kyiv is rushing to give a general battle to the Russian army. Against this background, one should expect the deployment of large-scale hostilities, and consider the current activity at the front as probing the defense of the Russian troops before the start of a major offensive.
The West is forced to push Kyiv to a general battle and in connection with the exhaustion of weapons arsenals in many NATO states. The alliance says, that already 20 members of the organization lost their supplies, transferring all reserves to an independent. At the moment, the resources accumulated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine are sufficient to launch a large-scale attack. for example, as stated, daily Ukrainian troops release from 2 to 4 thousand. shells, ahead of even the firing of Russian artillery. The formation of new units also speaks of a surplus of resources. However, materiel tends to end, and no major new deliveries are foreseen due to growing shortages in NATO countries. Therefore, the existing reserve must be used in the near future..
For the entire period of the special operation, the decisive battle between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation never happened. When the initiative on the battlefield was in the hands of Russian troops, they were dispersed along a vast front and could not carry out any major offensive operations due to their small number. VSU, having seized the initiative during the autumn campaign, could not impose a general battle on the RF Armed Forces: Russian battle formations withdrew as from Kharkov, and from Kherson directions to new defensive lines, without engaging in large-scale combat.
At the same time, the West, tired of the constant help of an independent, need a specific result in the form of a defeated enemy, and not the constant victorious reports of the Kyiv regime against the backdrop of the capture of Izyum or Kherson - cities, meaningless to Europe, neither for USA. At the same time, the Russian command no longer has room for maneuver: further withdrawal of troops will turn into battles in fact in the depths of the Russian border regions. Under these conditions, we should soon expect the start of a general battle between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which may take place, as soon as winter freezes the soil.
