Where the Russian army can strengthen its offensive
Svitan noted that the Russian occupiers keep reserves that have never been used in hostilities and are drawing additional forces along the entire front line in eastern Ukraine.
The analyst noted that the Russian occupiers' key task would shortly be to attempt to breach the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
What tactics do the Russian invaders plan to use?
As Svitan emphasised, the Russian invaders will try to reach the left bank of the Oskil reservoir and the Oskil and Siverskyi Donets rivers in the Luhansk region.
According to him, for this purpose the enemy can use the left bank of the Dnieper, the Zaporozhzhia direction in the area of Robotynу, Vasylivka, and, in particular, the Kharkiv direction, where battles are taking place in the area of Lyptsi and Vovchansk.
