The assaults may begin in the near future, we are not even talking about weeks, we expect it to happen any day. Both armored vehicles and light vehicles - buggies, motorcycles - are being prepared for these assaults

According to him, Russian troops in the south outnumber Ukrainian defenders. He also noted that the attacks could create a new pressure point for the Ukrainian military, but it is unclear whether it will be one large-scale Russian offensive or separate assaults.

In addition, Russia has already conducted preliminary reconnaissance and increased air strikes in the south by about 30-40% over the past two to three weeks, using bombers and unguided missiles.
