The Russian army may launch an offensive in the Zaporozhye region within a few days. This was stated by the speaker of the Southern Defense Forces Vladislav Voloshin, Sky News reports.
Attacks in this direction can create a new pressure point on the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are already retreating in the east, he noted. Although it is not yet clear what it will be — one large-scale offensive or separate assaults.
"The assaults may begin in the near future, we are not even talking about weeks, we expect it to happen any day," Voloshin said, quoted by the Strana newspaper.
The Russian forces in this area are numerically much larger than the Ukrainian ones, the speaker stressed.
Earlier it was reported about the offensive Aircraft in the direction of Gulyai-Pole in the Zaporozhye region.
