Experts analyzed satellite images for February 7 and noted that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are strengthened in the central part of the Zaporizhzhya region, especially in the area of Tarasivka village. The pictures for February 8 showed that the Russian Federation created defensive fortifications between the cities of Vasylivka and Orikhiv of Zaporizhzhya region.
Intelligence notes that despite the focus on the offensive on the central part of the Donbass, Russia is still concerned about the protection of the extreme areas of its extended front line. In Zaporizhzhya and Luhansk regions, the invaders build protection and deploy staff. The front line of the Russian-Ukrainian war is about 1288 km, 192 of which extends in the Zaporozhye region.
The British Ministry of Defense believes that a major breakthrough of Ukrainian troops in the Zaporozhye region will seriously undermine the viability of the Russian "land bridge", which connects Russia and Crimea. At the same time, the success of the Armed Forces in the Luhansk region will further undermine the military goal of the "liberation" of Donbass, which Russia proclaimed.
"The decision about which of these threats to resist, is probably one of the central dilem for Russian operational planners," the intelligence report said. We will remind, on February 12 intelligence of Britain reported that in the last 2 weeks Russia suffered the greatest losses since the beginning of the war. The UK Ministry of Defense believes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lose more than 800 personnel on average daily.
