Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel: Putin Is Preparing To Strike In Unexpected Place

What will Ukraine's response be?

Russia may be preparing an offensive in May-June in an unexpected place. However, the Ukrainian response could be quite powerful, given the amount of military assistance Ukraine has received.

How exactly Western military assistance will be useful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine was analyzed in a commentary for Channel 24 by a military expert, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Petro Chernyk.

Chernik noted that the front line is now more than 1,000 kilometers. This means that the enemy can strike powerfully at any point. They can covertly change their strategic goals, but to do this, just as covertly, he must accumulate forces and resources in precisely that direction.

“In my opinion, they will not be able to do this in an extremely covert manner. Modern means of optical and especially radio reconnaissance make it possible to identify the most hidden maneuvers of the enemy. At the same time, no one has canceled the IPSO, this may be our specific response towards the enemy, that we understand what he is preparing for,” the military expert noted.

Ukrainian operations in the Crimea and the South

According to him, British boats will be very useful for Ukraine. The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine has already carried out operations on the Crimean Peninsula. The operation on the “Boiko towers” stands out here. In addition, maneuverable fast boats will be useful in forming a bridgehead on the left bank of the Kherson region.

“For example, Soviet transporters, which can carry up to 70 paratroopers, cargo and armored personnel carriers, move very slowly. This is an extremely convenient target for Russian artillery. Boats of this type are very maneuverable and fast. We have to somehow get to the bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro, bring ammunition and everything necessary there,” Chernik emphasized.
