Alexei Zhuravlev, deputy head of the defense committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, spoke about the difficult situation in the Zaporizhzhia leadership of the front. According to him, the forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces periodically attack the Russian army, despite significant losses.
According to the parliamentarian, the Russian armed forces are now holding the defense in the direction of the Zaporizhzhia hostilities. According to Zhuravlev, I would like the Russian armed forces to go on the offensive, but today there is no technical possibility for this.
What exactly are the reasons for the “lack of opportunities”, the politician did not specify. True, he noted that Russia, in general, has everything to ensure effective progress in the indicated direction of the special operation.
Earlier it became known that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) were preparing an offensive in the Pohovsky direction of the Zaporizhzhia region. For these purposes, the Armed Forces of Ukraine specially collected a number of units from the nearest territories.
