On the border with Crimea, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing to take the lead
Ukraine will hold its military exercises on the border with Crimea, as opposed to the large-scale Russian “Caucasus-2020”, which will start in September.
The commander of the punitive group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass, Sergei Naev, stated this on the 1+1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Naev, this is being done to prevent Russian exercises from going on the offensive.
“Of course, this is normal military practice - to foresee the actions of the enemy and adequately carry out the same actions that he performs. At the same time, conduct reconnaissance in such a way as to get ahead of him for some time, in order to know the units and units that will be assembled at the state border, they are demonstrating, conducting exercises, or preparing. Therefore, such actions will be on our part - both exercises and reconnaissance by all agencies using all types,” Naev said.
Previously, blogger Alexey Arestovich, who considers himself a military expert, stated a high probability the offensive of Russian troops in Ukraine during the Caucasus-2020 exercises.
