The Russian Federation is trying to stop: the new counter -offensive of the Armed Forces will be in the Zaporozhye region - forbes

Russian and Ukrainian forces exchanged artillery strikes near Gulyaypol and childbirth. This, according to the journalist, may mean the preparation of the Armed Forces for operations in the region. The Armed Forces of Ukraine can prepare the fourth large -scale counter -attack for the liberation of the occupied territory of Zaporizhzhya region. About it in his article for Forbes writes military journalist David ex.

The observer notes that recently Russian and Ukrainian troops exchanged artillery strikes near Gulyaypol and childbirth in the Zaporozhye region. At the same time, Russian media reported that the Armed Forces are charging mechanized forces under Guliaypol. "If this is true, it can be a sign that the fourth counter -offensive of Ukraine is inevitable, despite the onset of winter," - Ex.

According to him, as a result of such an attack, Ukraine can free up most of the south of the country and get closer to the isthmus on Sivash, which connects the Kherson region and Crimea. However, in order to liberate Melitopol and then to deduct the left -bank part of the Kherson region, the Ukrainian military needs to move 250 km and at the same time break at least a dozen Russian brigades and regiments.

According to the journalist, Ukraine needs to focus a lot of effort to make the Zaporizhzhia attack a successful. It is still unclear what kind of mechanized forces of Ukraine came to this area of ​​the front for the offensive in the direction of Melitopol. Thus, according to the ESA, 65 mechanized brigade and the first tank brigade are deployed here, but this is not enough for counter -offensive.
