Zaluzhny's Plan: Ukraine Preparing Striking Fist That Russia Cannot Resist

A date for the entry of the AFU into Crimea has been named.

The news of Ukraine's imminent deliveries of NATO armoured vehicles has clarified the plans of AFU Commander-in-Chief Valeriy Zaluzhny. Kyiv is preparing a striking fist to defeat the occupier.

Russian historian, politician and political emigrant Dmitry Chernyshevsky said this in his YouTube video blog.

He drew attention to the fact that Zaluzhny adheres to a cautious and thoughtful line in the war with Russia. He does not allow successes to blind him, he does not rush. For example, after three major battles at Izyum, Lyman and Kherson he always gave orders to stop and consolidate his success.

"Zaluzhny showed himself as a cautious and shrewd commander, who knows how to impose his will on the enemy, knows how to win battles... What is even more important, he knows how to plan the victory strategically," Chernyshevsky said.

The historian noted that there is a kind of operational pause at the front now. Neither Ukrainians, nor Russians are trying to attack on a large scale. The Russian Armed Forces are now engaged in setting up defensive lines in three sections at once: in the direction of Melitopol, near Kreminna, as well as in the annexed Crimea.

"What does this tell us? The Russian command's attention is floundering, they are waiting to see where the Ukrainian army will strike. They know that eight Ukrainian brigades have been released near Kherson and are waiting for a strike. But Ukraine is not striking... Russian commanders cannot guess where the Ukrainian army will strike... They are scattering their attention and forces... The operational pause is very typical. The Russian command is afraid to attack, it cannot attack, it prefers to meet the Ukrainian strike first, but it does not understand where it will be delivered," the Russian politician said.

He believes that Russian occupation army commander Sergey Surovikin is not really preparing a major counteroffensive. "One can see that he is preparing for defence... Like in 1943, to stand in a forced defence near Kursk, to meet the attack and go on a counteroffensive," Chernyshevsky said.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces, in his words, are waiting for deliveries of NATO armored vehicles. And this is a nightmare for the aggressor. "Ukraine, by delaying the offensive, (...) is winning time for Western supplies to arrive: armoured vehicles, shells. Ukraine is stockpiling resources. And the threat of this fist, which is getting more powerful by the day, looms over Russian positions. And what about the Russian side? T-34s are already coming to the front from there. What seemed impossible six months ago, what was laughed at... We have come to this! The Russian army is weakening and the Ukrainian army is strengthening... The AFU commander-in-chief is methodically preparing, increasing his advantage for the decisive blow. The next battle will be decisive, after which the outcome of the war will really be decided... The backbone of fascist aggression will be broken, and Ukraine will go to liberate its land. This is what we are seeing now," the Russian historian stressed.

He believes Ukraine's victory in this war is inevitable. "By the end of the summer, Ukraine's advantage will be so great that they will enter Crimea. And then the war may really end," Chernyshevsky stated.
