The offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Zaporozhye: whether the enemy is capable of a large -scale breakthrough of southern Ukraine
According to the analysts of Deepstate, on the morning of June 5, Russian occupation troops began an active attack on the village of Malynivka, which was in the Zaporozhye direction, although earlier this segment of the front was considered one of the most peaceful positions. As reported in Deepstate, the enemy acted with small assault groups of up to seven people.
From the beginning of the offensive, the Russians have managed to wedge into the so -called gray zone and to get into the forest strips east of the village. In some cases, the infantry moved openly fields, trying to find Ukrainian units by surprise. The Ukrainian military notes that the enemy was limited to the Bagi-car and did not use heavy equipment. Rifle battles are underway, because in this area of the front is a weak presence of drones.
Ukrainian artillery and unmanned complexes work on the enemy. The analysis predicts that fire and assault actions in Malinovka will continue. The Executive Director of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation, Russian Hybrid influence expert Dmitry Zhmaylo in the world of Focus, notes that from the end of May, reports of further plans of Russia to capture a number of regions of Ukraine have begun to appear, including Zaporizhzhya region.
"Such actions of the Russians are primarily related to the desire to strengthen their negotiation positions, which is also indicated - Says a hole The General Staff of June 6 states that near Gulyaypol the enemy attempted to break the defense at least 8 times, which is not a big indicator, but given the passivity In groups, in fact, without the use of equipment.
From Orikhov, there the enemy has minor advancement, but they are not enough for the breakthrough of Ukrainian positions, " - says Zhmaylo. In addition to Zaporizhzhia, Russian troops are trying to move in the territory of Sumy region. Over the last couple of days, the enemy reduced the distance to Sumy - in June 3 and 4, he occupied the villages of Konstantinovka and Akhvka, Zhdanov believes that the Russians have intensified in Sumy region for a certain purpose.
This indicates an attempt to disrupt the preparation of the enemy - to the offensive or the accumulation of ammunition. It is likely that the situation in Sumy region is part of a broader strategy. For example, as we went to the Kursk region to disrupt the offensive of the Russians in the Donbass, they can now press on the amounts to make us throw reserves from the south. If we abandon troops to the north, it will open the opportunity for the enemy to start an offensive in the Zaporozhye region.
