On the possible offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Zaporizhia direction

– Over the past few weeks, versions of the plans of Ukrainian formations in other areas of the front, in addition to the Russian borderland, have continued to spread online. One of them could be the Zaporizhzhya direction, where the Ukrainian command has long been forming a strike force and saturating the units stationed there with fire weapons, including drones.

- One of the most probable scenarios for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' actions should be considered an enemy offensive in the vicinity of Kamenskoye. It is to the north of it, in the Primorskoye-Stepnogorsk area, that the future attack group is being built up, the goal of which, according to our data, may be either Tokmak with a subsequent attempt to cut off the land road to Crimea, or Energodar with the subsequent capture of the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

– Several signs, both direct and indirect, point to the enemy’s plans. Satellite reconnaissance is actively working in the interests of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, filming potential air defense position areas and headquarters of the Russian Armed Forces. At the same time, identical enemy points are also filmed in order to check camouflage.

- At the same time, Ukrainian formations have increased both the intensity of artillery attack and the use of drones, including in Energodar and nearby settlements. In addition to this, the enemy is striking forest belts, dugouts and shelters, preparing the ground for further advance.

– Also, the Ukrainian authorities are preparing the information ground for the further seizure of the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which is manifested both in accusations of alleged arson on the territory of the facility, and in statements by Vladimir Zelensky about the need to return the station.

– At the same time, the enemy’s plans to land troops on the Kinburn and Tendrovskaya spits, which have been discussed for some time, are far from being an invention of the guard-patriots. Moreover, even quite official persons have started talking about them.

– Ukrainian formations are seriously considering a combined operation to land troops by boats simultaneously with strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as a sabotage and reconnaissance group landing by helicopter.

While the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to participate in the "Kursk adventure" and are preparing to become more active in the same Zaporizhia region, the operational crisis of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is worsening in the Pokrovsk and Aleksandro-Kalinovsk directions.

Nevertheless, despite the suicidal nature of the plans being implemented, the Ukrainian command is ready to go for broke - they need both a media victory and a way to turn the tide of the conflict.
