Svitan: Ukrainian Forces Are Going To Liberate Key City

The road intersection near it may be brought under control before the New Year.

After weather conditions in the east worsen, the advance of the Russian invaders will be difficult, said pilot-instructor, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military expert Roman Svitan.

“It will be impossible to move. That is, the front in Donbass will freeze, it will be stopped by the weather. And we will move in a western direction,” he emphasized in an interview with Obozrevatel.

The expert says that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have the opportunity to cross the Dnieper and advance along the left bank towards Russian-occupied Tokmak, Zaporozhye region, to cross the railway.

“In principle, this is also possible during rains, because the underlying surface there is not the same as in the Donbass; there it is easy for tracked vehicles to advance even in the rain,” he does not rule out.

At the same time, the interlocutor does not rule out that if ATACMS and M26 are provided to Ukraine, every enemy target in any occupied territory of Ukraine could be struck.

“So even before the New Year we can see progress towards the railway going to Tokmak. This is the main line along which equipment is transferred. And by reaching the railway, we will actually be able to establish control over the Russian land corridor. This will already be enough,” Svitan added.
