Russia is limited in its possibilities for a large-scale offensive on several fronts at the same time.
Reserve Colonel Serhii Grabsky of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shared his analysis of the situation on the battlefield on Radio NV. He noted that Russian forces are concentrated in certain areas of the front, but even there their resources remain in question.
The main destination for Russians now is the Pokrovsky Promontory and Kurakhovo area. It is here that the enemy tries to concentrate his forces to advance. "After the completion of the operations in Kurakhovo and Pokrovsk, the Russians can transfer resources to Kupyansk, but whether they will have enough strength remains an open question," Grabskyi said.
The expert admits the possibility of offensive actions in the Kupyansk region, but they will not be as massive as in the Donetsk region. "Kupyansk is well fortified, and the defense here is maintained by units that know the area. This creates serious challenges for the Russians," said Grabskyi.
A separate threat comes from the bridgehead that Russian troops have captured on the right bank of the Oskil River. According to Grabskyi, this location is strategically inconvenient for the development of an offensive, but it can be used for diversionary maneuvers.
Serhii Grabsky emphasizes that the Russians can only conduct separate offensive operations in secondary areas, such as Kupyansk, Lymansky District, Siversk, and the Kherson Islands. However, they will not be able to carry out a massive offensive in all these areas at the same time.
