Russia throws troops from Sumy region: what are the plans of Moscow in the Zaporozhye region

To spread: the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky warns of the new offensive of the Russian Federation to the Zaporozhye region. To do this, Russia throws troops from Sumy region. Focus has learned whether there was an imitation to prepare a new offensive and how Ukraine is preparing to repel the attack. The Russian army is preparing for a new offensive in the Zaporozhye direction with the intention of capturing the entire area.

For this purpose, the invaders are thrown away by troops from Sumy region, as stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. According to him, the situation on the front remains difficult. The Russian forces are regrown, focusing on two key areas: Pokrovsky, which is of strategic importance to them, and Zaporizhzhya, where the offensive actions are planned. "And now the enemy throws his parts from Sumy to Zaporizhzhya direction.

That is, it will be the second direction in which the enemy plans to start active offensive actions. As of today (in the Zaporizhzhya direction - ed. ) Actions of low intensity are ongoing. It just disrupted their plans . . . " - said the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces. Syrsky emphasized that the purpose of Russia is the breakthrough of Ukrainian defense, promotion deep into the territory and the full capture of the Zaporozhye region.

According to Alexander Kovalenko's military-political observer, Vladimir Putin does not leave plans to continue offensive operations, despite the visible attempts to conduct diplomatic negotiations. The expert emphasizes that all the steps of the Kremlin on the diplomatic front are nothing more than an imitation of readiness for negotiations.

This tactic, according to Kovalenko, serves only to create an illusion of compromise in the international arena, while Putin's true goal remains unchanged - delaying war and expanding control over Ukrainian lands. "The diplomatic track, according to the entertainment, does not promise significant breakthroughs and boils down to imitation actions that have no real influence on the situation.

Russia puts forward ultimatic conditions, such as the exchange of territories or recognition of temporarily occupied areas, but these proposals are only a screen for hiding the other. At the end of 2025, the Russian invaders will continue active offensive operations, not showing any signs of readiness for de -escalation. The expert pays special attention to the situation in the Zaporizhzhia region, where attempts of tactical maneuvers of Russian troops are observed.

The redeployment and regrouping indicate the intentions to open new activity centers, in particular in areas where the fighting was less intense earlier. In the Novopavlovsk direction, where the Fifth Russian Army operates, the situation seems particularly threatening. There is a risk of promoting Gulyaypol in the Terryivka area, which can create additional pressure on Ukrainian defense borders. Although these actions are still tactical, they testify to strategic preparation for further offensive.

Kovalenko categorically states that there are no signs that Russia plans to end the war. "The Defense Forces of Ukraine, which continue to maintain strategic defense, have sufficient potential for confrontation. However, the details of plans and readiness are known only to the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The scale of future offensive actions will be greatly inferior to the fact that they were observed at the beginning of a full -scale invasion.

And material, significantly decreased, which affects the ability to perform large -scale operations, "the expert added. According to the observer, the Russian army currently has almost 700,000 personnel in the war zone, but this is not enough for an effective offensive due to catastrophic deficiency of equipment.

The lack of armored vehicles, artillery and other key components forces the Kremlin to focus on local tactical actions, not on large-scale offensive offenses, such as the capture of thousands of square kilometers a day in 2022. Treating troops from such important areas as Pokrovsky or Konstantinovsky, looks impossible due to lack of reserves. Russia cannot afford to weaken these borders, which further limits its strategic opportunities.

Recall that the spokesman of the State Tax Administration Ruslan Demchenko shared information about the potential provocations of Russia on the border with Belarus during the Station "Waffa 2025". These maneuvers can be masking for aggression from the Russian Federation. Focus also wrote about the attempts of the Russian Federation in the Kupyansk-Liman direction.
