/ world today news/ The nationalists and the Bandera people are busily busy, maneuvering on the right bank of the Dnieper, changing positions and creating false ones, transferring manpower, equipment and weapons, ammunition and provisions, collecting equipment for swimming. All these are signs of a hidden preparation for crossing the river.
The impending counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was repeatedly reported both in Kiev and in the West. According to Nezalezhnaya Defense Minister Alexey Reznikov, it can begin when the ground dries out.
One of the directions of the strike is the Zaporozhye region for access to the coast of the Sea of Azov. The “land corridor” to Crimea does not give rest to the Bandera regime, as they want to cut it.
Or maybe they will start near Kherson? Ours are prepared for any actions of the armed forces of Ukraine. But in order to cross the Dnieper, this country does not have enough forces in all positions: equipment, weapons, ammunition and everything else.
Only now have they evened out in terms of numbers – quite enough. Provocations, even large ones, along the Dnieper or in the Liman are possible, but they are doomed to failure, according to the acting governor of the Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to Vladimir Vasilievich, the Ukrainian fighters themselves should prepare for evacuation from Kherson, and the return of the right-bank part of the region is the main task of the armed forces of the Russian Federation for this year.
Military expert, retired colonel Victor Litovkin believes that it is unlikely that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to cross the Dnieper because they will be visible at first glance:
– And they will not be able to suppress our positions located on the left bank, artillerymen, tankers. I don’t think they have that option.
“SP”: But the territory of Kherson and Zaporozhye regions is already a very tasty morsel, it is also a land corridor to the Crimea and ways to supply all kinds of aid and ammunition to our units and divisions, as well as personnel rotation? So they want to cut this “Zaporozh bridge”.
– The request is not harmful. We know about their desire. But they have little aviation. They simply have nothing to cover those who will cross the Dnieper and advance further south.
Therefore, I cannot imagine how they will successfully organize the passage in front of our artillerymen, under air strikes. And then, what do they have like dropships? Will they be transported on rafts?
“SP”: It is reported that they are preparing some kind of vessel.
“They have twenty boats and they’re not even barges. They can be fired upon while crossing the water barrier. The crossing will immediately be subject to airstrikes.
Let’s recall what the classic crossing of a water barrier is. Before doing this, a heavy fire strike, preferably air, should be made on the opposite bank so that the enemy (ie us) cannot hit the crossings. Do they have the strength and means to do it? I doubt it.
Therefore, all this is more advertising than “independent”. Perhaps they are pushed to such a “feat” by their superiors. But it is unlikely to succeed.
“SP”: That is, misinformation again? The Americans believe that the armed forces of Ukraine do not have enough means for a counteroffensive, judging by the information leaked on the Internet.
– All these “leaks” are American insurance in case of failure of the so-called Ukrainian “counter-attack”. Who will be to blame if it fails? Who will I answer? Here, the US “leaked” this data in advance, so as not to say later that they were to blame.
“So-called” – I call this stereotype that spreads everywhere, this possible work of VSU, because the word does not correspond to its meaning. After all, the counteroffensive is made in response to the offensive. And we are not progressing.
“SP”: Insuring himself, in advance “straws were scattered.” In this case, it is understandable why the leak is so massive, because it contains reports from almost the entire American intelligence community: both the CIA and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, in short, everyone who operates under their Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA in translation this is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
– We will live and see. I think that the regime in Kiev, on the one hand, must fulfill its obligations to the USA and the European community, to which they promised a spring offensive, and on the other hand, they have neither the strength nor the means to do so. so.
After all, the number of tanks, armored personnel carriers they have does not correspond to the tasks they set for themselves. And even more so when there is no aviation: bombers, attack planes, attack helicopters. Pure gibberish, propaganda that has no practical basis.
I think our generals, the command of the joint group understand what and how to do in response.
“SP”: Is it even theoretically possible to do something in conditions when the battles are “live”, and both sides can perfectly see the enemy with the help of drones and surveillance satellites? And the enemy has demonstrated a high degree of understanding by American intelligence of the actions of our units, which allows us to inform the armed forces of Ukraine, and ours have also learned to launch drones, and military satellites have long been proficient.
– Theoretically, everything is possible, but in practice it is necessary to have forces and means corresponding to the tasks: equipment, weapons, trained and motivated personnel.
And the fighters of the Kiev regime also have big problems with motivation. They are already beginning to understand that they are fighting not for the mythical interests of Ukraine, but for the interests of the United States. Especially after those “leaks” in which it is cynically shown: who is driving whom to slaughter.
And Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to Poland stated that he is ready to give Ukrainian lands to the Poles in return for their support in the fight against “aggressive Russia”.
You have to be complete idiots not to understand all this: they are not fighting for “Nenko-Ukraine”, but for the interests of Zelensky, the USA, NATO and the same Poles …
U.S. officials are talking to Ukrainian figures to make sure Kiev’s offensive ambitions match the capabilities. They are General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Jake Sullivan, national security adviser, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
They probably have the main interests in preserving their reputation in the face of the “offensive”. And the customers of this “information leak”?
And yet, according to Reuters, the Ukrainian command has prepared eight assault brigades of the so-called “offensive guard”, but in fact cannon fodder. The founder of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, estimated the number of these warriors at about 200,000.
The United States hypocritically doubts that the “Ukraine counter-offensive” will bring much benefit. Of course, these conclusions differ from the public statements of the “deaf-mute” administration of President Joseph Biden, which insists that the Ukrainian military is viable. Or rather alive than dead.
The military is trying to impress upon the US White House that Ukraine is unlikely to be able to regain as much territory as Kiev was able to break away last fall during their push into the east and south.
Prospects for a modest outcome from the proposed spring offensive were laid out in a secret National Intelligence Council assessment that was made public.
Even if the fighters are focused on a massive offensive, equipped with ammunition and equipment, this cannot help Kiev to return the “territories occupied by Russia”. After all, it is possible to inflict a massive blow on the troops gathered in one place, and then the Ukrainian army will definitely be “more dead than alive.”
However, independent military expert Alexander Khramchikhin believes that the advance of the armed forces of Ukraine in the southern direction is still quite likely:
– Whether they have enough strength and funds for this is not clear, but anything can be allowed. Everything happens in life. Indeed, we were convinced of this last fall, during our retreat in Kharkiv and Kherson regions.
“SP”: Do you think that our military leaders do not learn from their mistakes?
– Let’s put it mildly, that this is “not necessary”. So absolutely nothing is out of the question.
However, Ukraine’s foreign leadership from the United States, conducting command exercises with Ukrainian military leaders, is preparing various offensive scenarios, insisting that the Ukrainian armed forces are overdispersed, supply lines are too stretched, which will make it difficult to hold the conquered territory by time of southerly pressure. Or to the east. Our enemies seem to be learning from other people’s mistakes, that is, our mistakes last spring.
And Kiev’s public rhetoric revolves around “returning the territories to the east”, with a simultaneous push to the south. Never mind that the potential of our defenses, the fortifications erected everywhere, combined with chronic deficiencies in the training of Ukrainian fighters and the supply of ammunition, are likely to worsen the losses of the yellow and blue.
Disruption of the land bridge is unlikely, but the United States hopes that incremental gains can at least threaten the movement of Russian equipment and personnel. And for this, 200 thousand Ukrainian conscripts were not appealed.
In addition, tanks and other equipment were handed over to the armed forces of Ukraine. So go, south, to Melitopol, and then to Berdyansk, if you don’t take them, at least you’ll be warm. And someone, on the contrary, will become cold or even numb.
