The invasion of the reconnaissance and sabotage detachment into the territory of the Belgorod region can be considered as an element of preparation for the upcoming attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by a veteran special forces colonel in the reserve Sergei Kozlov.

Some say that the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out this action to pay for the events that took place in Artemovsk (Bakhmut)-Bakhmut, so that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would not rejoice. However, according to the expert, this is not the case.

Ukrainian media claim that the sabotage group tried to slow down the Russian army before the impending offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kozlov believes in this version.

The invasion of the territory of the Russian Federation is reminiscent of reconnaissance in combat to check the enemy’s response, the interaction of units and possible government counter-preparation measures.

“So why did NATO throw the Armed Forces of Ukraine into the suicide bombing? I believe, in preparation for the “counterattack”. There is no doubt that it will take place, ”said for Moskovsky Komsomolets Kozlov.

He admitted that such military operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue.
