According to Maksym Zhorin, the first scenario is to develop an offensive in the Donetsk region on Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka-Kramatorsk.
The second is to the South, where Russian invaders may try to surround Ukrainian forces.
The third scenario is the attack of the Russian army on the Dnipropetrovsk region.
In my personal opinion, the first two directions are more priority for Rusaks (Russians — ed.) than Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. But with the capture of Pokrovsk, such an opportunity will definitely open up for them — emphasized the Deputy Commander of the Third Assault Brigade.
How Zhorin assesses the situation at the front
The deputy commander of the Third Assault Brigade, ex-commander of the "Azov" regiment and major of the Armed Forces shared his thoughts and forecasts in an interview with Online.UA.
Maksym Zhorin draws attention to the fact that we are currently at a rather difficult stage of the war.
What is also important to understand is that many civilians are aware of what is really going on and how dangerous this situation is.
Ukrainians are just gradually getting used to the fact that DeepState (interactive online map of hostilities — ed.) is constantly moving.
Well, it's already moving and moving. He hasn't reached out to you yet, but he's already reached Pokrovsk. And what will happen after Pokrovsk? There will be other cities. It is tangible and easy to notice. Our units are exhausted, they hardly rest. They can sometimes be swapped there to wake people up. But in general, this situation is very difficult. And the only option now is in no case to engage in all this nonsense like: "That's it! We must stop, we must negotiate!". You can't do it in any case. It's like in a fight: you fight, you're exhausted, but you have no choice, Zhorin emphasized.
