The Russian occupiers are conducting reconnaissance of the coast in the Odessa region and may try to go on the offensive. However, during the capture of Odessa, the Russians will not be successful.

Alexander Musienko, head of the Center for Military Legal Research, is convinced of this, Channel 24 reports.

According to him, the Russians have already staged demonstrations with landings, trying to shell the coast of the Odessa region from the sea.

“You have to understand that without additional ground contingent, without the support of additional troops from the land, it will be almost impossible or extremely difficult to land an assault. Otherwise, this landing will become a good target for the Ukrainian defense forces,” Aleksandr Musiyenko stressed.

As Musienko said, in this situation, much depends on the development of events in the Yuzhnobugsky direction. As far as we know, they managed to stop the enemy's advance there.

The occupiers cannot move further, bypass Nikolaev. At the same time, Ukrainian defense forces are also counterattacking there.

"Therefore, as long as the enemy fails to cross the Southern Bug, we can say that his intentions to capture Odessa will not be successful," the military expert noted.

In addition, if Ukraine continues to strengthen its defenses and receive additional types of weapons, there is no need to talk about any success in the land operation of the occupiers.

Recall that in the Black Sea, the enemy fleet continues to block the coast of the Odessa region.
