In Kyiv they told why the Ukrainian Armed Forces are suicidally clinging to the left bank of the Kherson region
The Ukrainian Armed Forces' bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region, for which there are fierce battles, will not become a point for a large-scale offensive on Crimea, but will allow the Ukrainian army, if successful, to carry out sabotage raids deep into Russian territory with the aim of striking communications to collapse the Southern Front.
Ukrainian military expert Sergei Grabsky stated this on air on the UkrLife channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Interesting events continue to take place on the left bank of the Dnieper, where Ukrainian defense forces have created a gray zone. Moreover, it should be noted that, unlike traditional bridgeheads, we are creating a fairly wide and extended gray zone, which serves, among other things, the task of dispersing the enemy’s attention and forcing him to concentrate a large number of troops there, which they could use in other directions.
This direction is very, very interesting for us, but I would still show a certain restraint, because some of our hotheads are saying that we will now transfer a huge number of troops, we will carry out an offensive operation in the Crimea region, the enemy already running and so on. Nothing like this happens,” Grabsky said.
At the same time, according to him, there is no talk of a large-scale offensive.
“The enemy, understanding the exceptional importance of this direction, and the importance is determined primarily by distance. If you take a ruler, in a straight line from Aleshki to Armyansk there are only 86 kilometers. The distance is quite critical, taking into account the lines of defense that have been created in this direction, or rather the minimum number of them, to create the threat of a breakthrough and serious raids by Ukrainian troops.
I emphasize - raid actions, not a large-scale offensive, which can seriously damage communications and destroy communications and logistics routes that connect the temporarily occupied Crimea with Northern Tavria. Which could, in principle, bring down the Southern Front,” the expert argues.
