The elite troops of the Russian Federation could not prevent the Armed Forces to move forward in the Zaporozhye region - isw
The new report of September 21 states that Ukrainian troops are slowly but faithfully forward, despite the relocation of Russian military elements against elite units. So, according to the report, in mid-August, the Russian military relocated units of the 7th Guards Mining and December Division (GVDV) and the 76th Guards Division of the GPV in the robot area to reflect Ukrainian attacks.
They also had to reduce the load on the 22nd and 45th separate brigades of the Special Forces of the Russian Federation. Analysts noted that the units of the 22nd Guards Brigade of Special Forces are now operating west of Verbov. One of the Ukrainian soldiers who participated in the battles in the Zaporozhye region, told American journalists that Russian troops, who protect trenches, are unmotivated and ineffective. However, counterattack units are much stronger.
"The statements of the Ukrainian soldier are consistent with the ISW observations that a relatively elite Russian special forces and elements of the Airborne Air Force are apparently the main elements of counterattack forces in the West of the Zaporizhzhya region," the report reads. Recall that on September 21, the Armed Forces assessed the state of Russian troops in the Zaporozhye region.
The invaders are trying to pull up reserves from the Kherson direction, which are already exhausted to some extent. Increasing other areas for the occupiers is already a problem. They try to establish supply of reserves from Crimea. In addition, the media reported that analysts urge Ukraine to realize that the war will last a long time. According to experts, Ukraine should be aware that the country will live for a long time in war. This must be taken and changed behavior to victory and join NATO.
