"Will be global": the Russian Federation will tighten reserves and start a major offensive in the spring - People's Deputy
This was stated by the ATO veteran and the Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence Roman Kostenko in an interview with RBC Ukraine on February 28. According to him, after the Russian Federation threw reserves from the right -bank part of the Kherson region after leaving Kherson, she went on attack in other directions. However, the result was not the one that Moscow was expecting.

Roman Kostenko added that in late March - early April, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will be on a large -scale offensive. During this period, the earth begins to dry, and the terrain allows you to make some maneuvers.

The veteran of the Ukrainian-Russian War said that at this time it is worth counting on large-scale attacks of Russians with the use of more weapons and equipment.
