"They increase the number of their troops, prepare for our counter -offensive [in the south of Ukraine] and may be preparing to start their own offensive," Skibitsky commented in particular. According to Skybitsky, two weeks ago, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation removed tactical groups of airborne troops from the Donetsk region and sent them to the occupied Kherson. The invaders send the troops of their eastern military district, which were previously used for attack on Slavyansk.
Despite the transfer of battalion groups from the Donbass, the aggressor country will continue its offensive in Donetsk region, albeit with less intensity, continues Skibitsky. The southern regions are key to Russian invaders - primarily through Crimea. If Russia won the battle in the south and east of Ukraine, it would continue the offensive to seize even more. To do this, new units that are now formed in the territory of the aggressor country, explains the representative of the GUR.
"Now they [the Russians] are creating rifle battalions of reservists in every Russian military district and the Third Army Corps in the Western Military District [RF]," he said. Skibitsky also told reporters that in the area of Kharkiv, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation concentrated efforts on protecting their positions and preventing the exit of the Ukrainian forces on the Ukrainian-Russian border.
