The Ukrainian intelligence officer, whose name is not revealed, has informed CNN that in the last 10 days the Russian armed forces have become more active again and overturned additional live power and equipment for future assaults. "We see it in the pictures of drones and hear how they say it in radio interceptions," the scout said. It is noted that Russia's main efforts can be directed to the west, not north of Pokrovsk.
"Introduction to Dnipropetrovsk will be a significant moment because it will be the first time that Russian troops are going to this territory. In fact, it will be the first new Ukrainian region to be part of a partial Russian occupation from the first weeks of a full -scale invasion of more than three years ago," the material said.
According to the Ukrainian Cartographic Service DeepState, the Putin troops are only six kilometers from the Dnipropetrovsk region, while people living along the border are already evacuated. "For Putin-and, quite possibly for American managers-any Russian control over part of Dnipropetrovsk can be considered as a useful trump card in future negotiations," the authors of the material explained.
The analysis of CNN data on the fighting recorded by the General Staff of Ukraine indicates an increase in Russian activity over the last two weeks in all sections of the front line, starting on March 23. By this date, the average number of daily collisions in March was about 140 (except for one collision on March 11). Since then, despite fluctuations, the average is about 180 clashes per day, ie it has increased by about 30%.
At the same time, despite pessimistic estimates, it is important to keep a certain perspective, the publication writes. "The territory occupied by Russia remains small. For example, its troops south -west of Pokrovsk, occurring in the Dnipropetrovsk region, moved only 45 kilometers further than a year ago," the article said.
