Military Analyst: Ukraine Must Be Ready For Serious Challenges

The offensive operation will not be easy.

Director of the information and consulting firm Defense Express, Serhiy Zgurets, stated that it is necessary to be ready for serious challenges, because the Ukrainian offensive operation will not be easy.

He spoke about this on the air of Espreso.

“We have created a kind of 'warm bath' in the perception of the hostilities that we are going to wage. Indeed, we had two successful offensive campaigns to liberate a large part of our territory, but now the situation is different. The enemy also drew conclusions: the enemy increased its troops on the combat line, shock drones are also widely used. The confrontation continues on many levels. We must be ready for serious challenges, because our offensive operation will not be easy. First of all, society needs to prepare for this, because the militaries understand the full responsibility and complexity of military events. Politicians and experts can talk about how to easily draw the movement of Ukrainian units on the map” said the military analyst.

Serhiy Zgurets stressed that none of the militaries says that the enemy is stupid and will run from the front line.

“The enemy has become more combat-ready. We are preparing for a difficult stage of bloody hostilities, which is associated with the conduct of our offensive operation. This operation will last at least a few months, and maybe until the fall. Offensive military operations will bring significant losses, including for the Ukrainian side, because whoever advances loses more. It is important to combine an understanding of reality, the resilience of society and the promotion of more things to the fore, such as drones, communications systems, electronic warfare equipment and so on. I note that we are now moving further towards the main lines of defense of the enemy, which he is preparing to defend. Drawing these lines of defense will not be an easy task. We must be prepared for various situations on the battlefield, because war is unpredictable, no matter what politicians and experts say,” Zgurets said.
