According to Arestovich, the “intrigue” of this offensive of the Russian army should be that it should be simultaneously from the north and from the south.

“Now everyone is waiting for the second echelon. And the second echelon: these are 10 BTGs (battalion tactical groups) arriving from the Far East, the last ones, the 5th Army; and those who were withdrawn from the north from us – from Kyiv, Chernigov and Sumy.”

According to Arestovich, reinforcements from the Far East have not yet arrived, and the Russian invaders withdrawn from the north of Ukraine are not yet ready to attack.

He noted that the offensive of the Russian invaders has been going on for four days.

“That is, it comes from the north, it doesn’t work from the south,” Arestovich explained, and added that when reinforcements arrive, the Russians will begin the second and third stages of this offensive.

“But in terms of some details, we still need to see whether they will introduce this second echelon, or prefer to keep it. For one simple reason: because the first echelon does not work out very well, and because the second echelon is not very eager to join the battle, to put it mildly “And all the time the dates for the restoration of combat capability are being pushed back. Of course, those who come from the Far East can be thrown in a fresh way,” Arestovich said.

The presidential adviser believes that the offensive of the Russian invaders will last two or three weeks, which will decide the entire second stage of the war, as well as its general outlines and determine the end of the war.

He added that “in the place of the Russian commanders” he would hold back the BTG from the Far East, because, according to him, “these are the last soldiers of great Russia,” and if Ukraine suddenly starts to attack and have to fight back, then there will be nothing.
