Danilov named two possible directions where the Russians can go on the offensive
A new large-scale offensive by the Russian occupation troops may begin in the Kharkov or Zaporozhye regions. This was stated by NSDC Secretary Aleksey Danilov in an interview with Reuters.
He noted that it will depend on the Armed Forces of Ukraine how successful the Russians' attempts will be.
« either in the Kharkiv or Zaporozhye direction, of course, they will be made,” Danilov said.
According to the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, the intensification of offensive operations is associated with the anniversary of the war. In particular, the Kremlin «needs to show something to their people».
«They must have a great desire to do something big, as they see it , to this date», — he added.
- British intelligence assessed the ability of the Russian Federation to launch an offensive in the coming weeks.
- The American Institute for the Study of War believes that the Russians do not have enough combat strength for a new large-scale offensive.
