The Russian Armed Forces are preparing a major offensive in the Zaporozhye direction. This was stated on Ukrainian television by the former adviser to the "mayor" of Mariupol, Pyotr Andryushchenko.
According to Andryushchenko, the Russian command is pulling up reserves that were located near the sea, directly to the front line. This, according to him, is the first phase of the offensive. Actually, the offensive, according to the ex-adviser, may begin as early as the second half of July.
