According to him, it is unknown whether one big storm will take place in a certain direction or several smaller storms near Zaporozhye. "[Storms] can start in the near future, we do not even talk about weeks, we expect it to happen any day," Voloshin journalists of Reuters quoted Voloshin.
The possible plan of the Russians - to attack armored vehicles, light equipment (Bagi, motorcycles) and drone, explained a spokesman for the Southern command. The preparation for the offensive in Zaporizhzhya is evidenced by the growth of air strikes-they have become more than 30-40% in the last weeks, he said. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have already carried out intelligence and are ready, summed up the Ukrainian military in a comment to Western journalists.
The situation in the Zaporizhzhya region is tense, the Russians continue to inflict missile and air strikes in settlements and positions of Ukrainian fighters, confirmed in the conversation of the Focus a spokesman for the south defense forces Vladislav Voloshin. The enemy constantly conducts a counter -battery. Today, on November 12, in the southern direction of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation 283 times they fired at the positions of defense forces, struck 341 with drones.
So in a few days the number of shelling and UAV beats increased by about 25-30%. "The enemy continues to carry out assault actions in some directions. In particular, it has been significantly activated in Uremivsky. In other directions - Orikhiv, Gulyaypil, Dnieper - the enemy is preparing for assault actions," Voloshin said. According to him, the enemy conducts air and engineering intelligence of future areas, where the assault will conduct.
Also now, the Russians are trying to destroy all planned and explored goals, it is about firearms and points of defense forces in order to storm. In the Uremiv direction of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they have somewhat activated and carried out assault actions, trying to apply to the defense of Ukrainians in order to begin some promotion in the direction of the Greater Novosilka of Donetsk region. "There has increased the number of active assaults.
The enemy uses armored vehicles not only to transport assault groups, but also to cover them with fire. In addition, he uses unmanned aircraft, artillery. That is, he tries to actively storm and get success In the direction of the Great Novosilka, " - explained the spokesman of the Armed Forces. He stressed that the Ukrainian military conduct a defense operation and try to hold positions. Fierce battles are currently in the area of equivalent, Novodarivka.
Voloshin noted that the enemy is currently preparing for assault actions in certain areas, in particular, to the joint with the Donetsk region. "The enemy seeks to control the entire Donetsk region. As the Russian military-political leadership stated that the Donetsk region should be captured,"-said the spokesman for the South Defense Forces.
According to him, if the Russians manage to capture a large newcomers, they will be able to cut off the logistics paths, so the grouping of troops that defend the Kurakhiv direction. Vladislav Voloshin said that in the Zaporizhzhya region of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are actively conducting rotary measures, replenishing the losses in those units involved in the assault, increasing the number of drones operators.
At landfills located in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhya and Kherson region, the enemy prepares its units for the introduction of storms, actions to cover armored vehicles. The Russians are also preparing for the use of thermal imaging agents and anti -thermal cloaks. "The enemy is preparing for storms quite seriously, because in the south it does not use the tactics of meat storms, while more prepared militants are assault.
The enemy tries to carry out these actions with less losses," he said. According to him, one assault can last from 45 minutes to an hour, the enemy is not dropped on the invasion, and all storms are considered. In particular, if there were two or three storms in some direction a day, then it is more considered intelligence and search actions to identify Ukrainian firearms, weaknesses in defense, so that the assaults are more effective and bringing better results.
Deepstate co -founder Roman Pogorely noted that the spokesman for the south defense forces Vladislav Voloshin has been warning for the preparation of hostile counter -offensive for more than a month. "In the area of Vasylivka is the accumulation of enemy forces for more than one day. Said the focus of Pogorely. He specified that there is no active movements, but this can happen at any time. It is unknown why the enemy accumulates forces, in particular, has already collected two divisions.
The analyst noted that the Russians may do certain in small groups, as it was in the robot, or go into a big assault once and lose everything. Deepstate co -founder is convinced that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will definitely not go to Zaporozhye, because with such forces they will never reach there.
The military expert, the Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Zhdanov informed Focus that in the Zaporizhzhya region there is an activation of hostilities by the enemy, but it is impossible to say that it is an offensive. "There is an intensification of the increase in the storms of our positions. By the way, they attack not to the direction of Zaporozhye, but towards the Donetsk region, at the junction of borders. Therefore, it is more like a distracting maneuver," Zhdanov said.
He said that in the front section of the enemy there is no such number of troops that would be able to carry out the offensive today, even in a separate area of the operational direction. However, there the Russians accumulate personnel during the month. Periodically, Ukrainian intelligence reported on the transfer of truck columns, not trailers with heavy equipment or guns and trailers.
Yes, 20 trucks are about 600 Russian soldiers, but if you calculate ammunition cars, about 400-500 people will remain. "If you look at the map, the Kursk counter -offensive operation of the Russian troops and their activation in Zaporozhye is possible - it is a stretching of our reserves, distracting them from the central part of the front, from the Donetsk region," the military expert added. We remind that in the afternoon on November 11 the Russians blew up the dam of Kurakhiv Reservoir.
