New shelling next week: Will a massive blow to Ukraine will repeat in the near future
On the night of May 24, the Russian Federation released 14 Ballist missiles of "Iskander-M" and about 250 shock drones. The attack was directed to Kiev and its outskirts, including Holosiivskyi, Svyatoshinsky, Solomenskyi, Dniprovsky and Obolon districts. The shelling killed 13 people, another 56 were injured. The capital damages residential buildings, cars and infrastructure.
The next night, on May 25, Russian troops again made a massive combined blow to Ukraine, using 367 air assaults, of which 9 iskander and KN-23 ballistic missiles. 9 people were injured in Kyiv, 4 dead and 16 wounded in Kyiv region, a 77-year-old man was killed in Nikolaev as a result of the attack, and there were injured. Houses and infrastructure were damaged.
On the night of May 26, Russia carried out the largest air attack throughout the war, releasing 355 SHahd drones and 9 winged X-101 missiles. The attack covered all regions of Ukraine, including Chernihiv, Khmelnytsky, Kharkiv, Odessa region and the capital of Kiev. 6 people were killed as a result of the shelling, 24 more were injured. The air defense forces destroyed 288 drones and 9 missiles, but some of them have achieved their goals, causing destruction and fire in different regions.
However, the last days of the Russian Federation are in a certain state of silence without using "Shahda" and missiles for shelling in Ukraine. The focus found out if it was a "lull" preparation for another massive shelling and when it can happen. According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, the most likely massive blows will last.
This, so to speak, "silence" by attacks, not so much related to the new round of peaceful races should take place on June 2, but with the fact that the Russian Federation is again preparing for a large -scale attack. "After the successful blows of our drones along the aerodrome Engels, the Russians spent a large part of the missiles, but have already received new major parties-seven IL-76 flights with rockets.
This means that new massive raids are quite likely in the near future," says Focus Zhdanov. According to the expert, the negotiation is likely to be technical, and there is no major breakthrough. Russia is not ready to compromise, because its purpose is to destroy Ukraine as an independent state. Until the Russian army suffers significant losses and begins to retreat, Putin will not have an incentive to make concessions. "So so far Ukraine will face new shelling and attacks.
Europe and the US are understanding, but some political forces, including Donald Trump, who has pro -Russian views, hinder more decisive action," the expert continues. Zhdanov estimates that the next massive blow to Ukraine is likely to take place in a week-about 6-8 June. According to the former SBU Employee Ivan Stupak, it can not be argued that the missile has only two or three massive shelling left in the Russian Federation-this is not a correct assessment.
However, it is difficult to make forecasts for the following attacks due to classified weapons. "We do not know exactly how many rockets they can now produce, whether they all have in stock, whether there can be no components. All details may already lie in the warehouses, but they wait for the last spare time to come from China. So it is difficult to predict. What can be assumed that the next such blow will be on June 24, but it is still difficult to predict, "says Focus Stupak.
According to the expert, it is difficult to estimate the number of missiles in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation because there is no accurate data how many arms arrived at the airfield. One rocket can weigh about a ton, and the aircraft can lift 10 pieces, but not the fact that each aircraft transports so many, perhaps only 3 rockets, and the rest may be defective or just empty containers.
"Even the Russian Defense Minister does not have a single master presentation with accurate numbers. All information is a secret, conducted in paper magazines and registers, is generalized very carefully so that no one knows," says Stupak. Therefore, according to the expert, Russia has a certain resource for re -massive shelling of Ukraine, but what is the resource itself and when the enemy is difficult to predict it. Although a certain system is currently traced - once a month.
We will remind, North Korea has handed over to Russia about 9 million artillery shells and ammunition for RSSUs, more than 100 ballistic missiles, more than 200 units of heavy artillery, as well as anti -tank controlled missiles and jet ammunition. Focus also wrote that on May 26, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Oleg Ivashchenko announced large -scale supply of weapons from the DPRK to Russia.
