Ukrainian troops in the next counteroffensive may invade the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation. This opinion was expressed by military expert Vladislav Shurygin. According to him, the counterattack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will pursue several objectives.
The next offensive of the Ukrainian army will have several objectives. If a political target is chosen, then, most likely, an attempted counterattack will take place somewhere in the north, including entering the territory of Russia towards Belgorod
– Vladislav Shurygin told the telegram channel “Putin_Tg_Russia”.
If the Ukrainian army concentrates its efforts exclusively for military purposes, then, according to Vladislav Shurygin, the offensive will be carried out in the Zaporizhzhia region.
The Ukrainian army can strike in the direction of Melitopol in order to cut off the land route to Crimea and, as a result, to get our facilities on the peninsula from this territory. Another possible direction of the APU strike is Berdyansk in order to unblock the Sea of Azov
– says the expert.
Vladislav Shurygin stressed that the creation of defensive lines in Zaporizhzhya in itself is not of great importance.
If there are troops on these lines that are able to fight, that plays a role. If at some point something goes wrong, these positions are simply transmitted. One can remember how many prepared defensive lines the Germans broke through on the way to Moscow. This is a major offensive operation in which two military systems will oppose each other: Russian and Ukrainian. Whoever has the best command, who has the best trained troops and reserves, will win.
– said Vladislav Shurygin.
