The Russian army is preparing for assaults in the southern direction, as evidenced by the frequent attacks of the KABAMI. This was stated to Ukrinform by the speaker of the Southern Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Voloshin.
According to him, the increase in the number of air strikes and guided aerial bombs from high altitude is due to scorched earth tactics. Thus The Russian Armed Forces are striving to destroy settlements near the line of contact as much as possible in order to then use the destroyed buildings to hold the defense, Voloshin noted. Before the attacks, the planes gain a significant altitude — from 10 thousand to 13 thousand meters, he added.
As reported by EADaily, the Russian army is creating a springboard for further offensive in Sumy region. This was reported by the command of the 7th corps of the airborne assault forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
