"Surrounded by 240 degrees": the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are going to step on three sides - People's Deputy (map)
Umerov claims that Russian forces can try to attack Ukraine from the territory of Belarus, as well as from their positions in the east and south of our country. "Russian troops surround us with 240 degrees, attack the Black Sea, from Belarus, Luhansk and Donetsk regions," Umerov told reporters. The authors of the publication also mentioned that Russia had declared its first success for several months, announcing the capture of the city of Soledar in Donetsk region.
The authors of the article point out that there is dispute on this topic in the information space, but at the cost of major losses of the Russian Federation still managed to move on this area of the front. The Daily Beast notes that the key role in the storming of Soledar was played by the Wagner Group fighters, many of which are the former prisoners of Russian prisons. "They go from all sides, three directions: criminals, private contractors and regular troops.
Their goals are to get rid of their criminals, to check and teach their contractors," Rustem Umerov said. Recall that US high -ranking officials advise Ukraine not to start a major offensive on the position of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation until the Armed Forces receive all the announced American weapons. This was reported on Reuters on January 20, citing the words of the representative of the administration Joe Baiden.
Focus also wrote that, according to the Polish General Waldemar Sklipchak, there is a likelihood of a new offensive of Russia in early spring or late winter. Sklipchak believes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can invade Ukraine from its territory, and activity in Belarus will be a distracting maneuver.
