The Ukrainian army has created a significant force for the offensive in Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. This was stated in an interview with NSN on Thursday, October 27, by the former Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, Army General Volodymyr Boldyrev.
Earlier, the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Aleksey Arestovich said that the situation in the Kherson direction is changing for the worse for the APU party. Vladimir Boldyrev explained why these claims should not be believed. He emphasized that he was not going to comment on Arestovich's statements, because the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine constantly lies and changes his assessments. His words should be considered a misleading statement, emphasized the former commander of the Russian ground forces.
“I would not say that there were unfavorable conditions, — Boldyrev shared his rating. – The forces are quite significant in these directions, both in Kherson and in Zaporozhye. it's calm I can't say exactly where to expect a strike, and there is a chance of a strike, it's quite possible.
According to the army general, only the weather can prevent the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but a strike should not be ruled out either, since the Ukrainian army now has more room for maneuver than the Russian one. “I believe the offensive will continue, — Boldyrev continued. – I think our intelligence is working and we will determine exactly where it will be.
When planning further actions, the Russian army always takes weather conditions into account, the expert added. He noted that the weather is now hindering the offensive. "The thick mud is strong there, it hinders the offensive, it makes it difficult for vehicles to pass, but it does not rule it out",— explained the former Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces.
Deputy Chief of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Army Oleksiy Gromov previously announced the strengthening of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the border with Belarus. He explained that the Ukrainian military leadership is monitoring the situation, but does not yet see the formation of an offensive group in the area. At the same time, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Army monitors possible threats.
