The Dnieper has become sharply shallow near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The Ukrainian Armed Forces will break through for two weeks

After the dam of the Kakhovka reservoir was blown up and the waters of the Dnieper were discharged, the river separating the Ukrainian and Russian positions near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant began to shallow. Theoretically, this could make the task of landing Ukrainian troops at the station easier. The photos were published by social activist Vladimir Rogov.

Military correspondent Daniil Bezsonov warns that, against the backdrop of so far unsuccessful attempts to break through the defense line in Zaporozhye, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will try to take advantage of the Dnieper flood in the Kherson region and cross to the right bank, counting on the washed away minefields.

“I admit that today, in the dark, the enemy may attempt to cross the Dnieper in the Kherson region with many small groups on boats, barges, etc. Therefore, our soldiers should be extremely careful in this direction,” warns Bezsonov.

The usually skeptical publicist Maxim Kalashnikov this time publishes the following message from his comrade on the front line:

“The enemy’s spirit dropped greatly; less than two out of 10 corps he prepared were thrown into the breakthrough attempts.

We've got a lot of shells. Finally, shafts of fire appeared in front of the attackers. The excellent effect of 152-mm shells against “leopards” was noted. Even if a high-explosive fragmentation device hits the turret, the tank will overturn.”

Another skeptic praises the actions of the military - the former head of the DPR Ministry of Defense Igor Strelkov.

“Suddenly it turned out that our aviation is ready for precisely such a development of events as a massive night attack, it can fire guided missiles at night no worse than during the day, and was prepared in advance for an enemy attack.

Now the “partners” have two options: stop burning their reserves in frontal attacks, crawl away and regroup (in essence, curtail the offensive at its very beginning), or still try - taking advantage of the created significant superiority in the number of people and linear units - to first push through the front , and then try to break through it (as they did last year near Davydov Brod in the Kherson region).

I assume that the enemy will not stop the attacks that have been launched, will not change plans on the fly, and a long, bloody battle awaits us. Depending on the enemy’s success, it can last from several days (4-5) to 2-3 weeks.

If the enemy manages to achieve even minimally encouraging success, he will beat and beat in the hope of a breakthrough. No - the attacks will gradually fade as losses increase,” Strelkov writes.

Doctor of Political Sciences Igor Skurlatov warns that military correspondents and the media should not engage in self-deception and prematurely report the failure of the Ukrainian offensive. After all, the current maneuvers can only be distracting.

The “stupid” offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Zaporozhye may (according to some sources) be due to the fact that the direction of the main attacks are planned in other places, and the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station and the assaults in Zaporozhye are a distracting maneuver, like the provocations in Shebekino,” warns the political scientist.

Publicist Yegor Kholmogorov points out that it is not enough to repel the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“The question is, will we be able to somehow deplete their forces and concentrate ours so that the result would be, say, the capture of Zaporozhye or the cleansing of the outskirts of Donetsk? The Ukrainian Armed Forces must be forced to lose stability.”

Former speaker of the parliament of Novorossiya Oleg Tsarev believes that Russia will not go on the attack, and the result of the bloody battles of June may be the stabilization of the front line.

“Everything is going towards the option I spoke about. The front line will be mostly stable. Neither side now has enough strength to go on the offensive,” Tsarev said.
