According to him, many hoped that after the breakthrough of the first line of defense of the Russians, the Ukrainian military would begin to move much faster, a few kilometers a day. However, this did not happen. According to Repk, the Armed Forces are now moving at a speed of 50 to 200 meters per day. "There are no signs of Ukraine's success in the region at the moment of Russian defense or even a large -scale retreat to the south," the expert said.
He also noted that despite almost three months of intensive Ukrainian artillery shelling, Russia still has extremely strong defense. "Thus, even after 13 weeks, the battle for the liberation of the south of Ukraine is just beginning. It is unlikely that the occupied cities or illegally annexed Crimea will be able to quickly reach the in the coming weeks and months," Repke said. Recall that the Armed Forces told about the second line of defense near Orikhov.
Ukrainian troops are moving between the first and second line of defense of the Russians in the Zaporozhye direction. It is built quite competently, said the spokesman of the Armed Forces Alexander Planon, so it will not be easy to knock out the enemy from the standpoint. Also, the deputy head of the GUR of Ukraine Vadim Skibitsky said that the Ukrainian air defense forces will become more effective than last winter.
