October 2, 2025

Military observer Mikhail Onufrienko on the air of the Tsargrad. The main thing ”commented on the clash of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with saboteurs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stating the mistake of the General Staff, which was made last year.

Discussing the situation, the specialist compared the events that took place a year ago. Then it was decided to withdraw the RF Armed Forces to the border, and the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions became the place of deployment.

Because of this, they automatically turned into a front line. This was the critical mistake of the Russian General Staff. Moreover, the Russian army never went on a serious offensive, and the front line was stretched for several hundred kilometers.

“Accordingly, we are instructing the armed forces of the junta to choose the place and time of the strike,” Onufrienko said.

Now dozens of areas are under attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Yes, in almost all cases, attacks are repelled, but the enemy has the possibility of a three-, five-, ten-fold superiority in a local sector of the front. Sooner or later, the Ukrainians will push through the line of defense somewhere, and then decisions will have to be made on an emergency basis.

In conclusion, the military observer added that the Russian Armed Forces cannot strengthen the border so that no one slips through it, then you need to at least minimize the risks of a breakthrough by militants, writes “Tsargrad” .
