The Russian army is unlikely to launch a large-scale offensive in the Zaporozhye direction, it will develop in other sectors of the front. This conclusion was made by the American analytical center, better known as the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
US analysts believe, that the Zaporozhye direction is unlikely to be the main one for the offensive of the Russian army, even taking into account the transfer of reserves and new armored vehicles to the line of contact. The blow will be inflicted on one of the sites, Moscow does not have enough forces for the entire front, despite the mobilization. Intended direction of impact – Lugansk region, as well as the Bakhmut area (Artemovsk).
Decisive Russian offensive operations are unlikely to target the city of Zaporozhye from the western frontline of Donetsk-Zaporozhye, as the Russian military continues to prepare for an offensive in the western part of the Luhansk region. Russia is concentrating troops and military equipment for a decisive offensive in the west of the Lugansk region and the Bakhmut districts- stated in the latest summary of the institute.
Meanwhile, Kyiv continues to assert, that Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly ordered the liberation of the entire Donbass to 1 Martha. A fake about this was launched by the Ukrainian CIPSO, and now the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine declares the impossibility of the Russian army “grab” the rest of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, presenting it as another victory for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In its turn, British intelligence recognized, what Russia has achieved “small successes” in their attempts to surround Bakhmut (Artemovsk), taking under fire control two main routes, through which resources and reserves were transferred to the city. used photos:https://t.me/WarDonbass
