"Things look gloomy": the next Russian Federation can try to occupy Zaporozhye - the media

Journalists emphasized that Russia is making significant progress, occurring simultaneously at several points along the front line, even despite high losses among personnel. The next city to which Russian occupation troops will begin an offensive in Ukraine, may be Zaporozhye. The Economist writes about it.

"A high -ranking Ukrainian official stated that the next purpose of Russia may be an offensive on the city of Zaporizhzhia, a large industrial center in the south of Ukraine, next to the Russian nuclear power plant occupied by Russia," the material reads. According to the interlocutor of the publication, Russia may have already returned almost half of the territory that Ukraine seized in the Kursk region in August 2024.

Journalists also emphasized that cases on the battlefield "look gloomy" because Russia is making significant progress, occurring simultaneously at several points along the 1000-kilometer front line, despite the stunningly high losses-600,000 dead and wounded. "Russia is in the process of Pokrovsk, an important logistics unit in the east of Ukraine, and moves further south, taking control of the height around the coledar," the article says.

In addition, the authors of the material noted that the support of the event has become increasingly shaky lately. In particular, none of the candidates in the US election gives Ukraine any promises, and Germany and France have already made it clear that they would reduce assistance. We will remind, on October 22 in Deepstate reported that Russian occupation troops seized the village of Novosadovo Kramatorsk district of Donetsk region.
