The expert believes that the increase in grouping did not affect the possibility of an offensive.
Military expert Oleg Zhdanov said that the possibility of an offensive by the Russian occupation troops on Kryvyi Rih and Mykolaiv is currently minimal.
He said this on his YouTube channel.
"The threat is minimal, and, in principle, it has not changed. The threat has not changed from the increased grouping. The fact is that the Russian Federation today can hardly conduct an offensive operation in the direction of Kryvyi Rih or Mykolaiv. It focuses its main efforts on building defense frontiers and on the organization and conduct of defense against the counteroffensive of our Armed Forces," Zhdanov said.
He also added that the front line moved away from Kryvyi Rih.
“In the Kryvyi Rih direction, we pushed the enemy back almost 20 kilometers from Vysokopole in the direction of Novaya Kakhovka. Therefore, the front line moved even further from Kryvyi Rih. The threat to Kryvyi Rih is now minimal,†Zhdanov stressed.
