Arestovich comments on the actions of the Russians in southern Ukraine

[Vesti] Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the President's Office, does not rule out that the Russian military will nevertheless go on the offensive in the Nikolaev direction. In his opinion, this is suicidal, but the adviser notes that the Russian command has more than once issued precisely such commands, meaningless from the point of view of the military.

As Arestovich notes, "the enemy group, which is quite serious in the Novaya Kakhovka area, there are about a dozen - maybe fifteen BTGs." "The question is where they will throw it. To strengthen the Kherson direction, or to strengthen the Zaporozhye direction - this is an open question, so we'll see. There, somewhere, two or three BTGs were brought to the right bank of Kherson, the paratroopers entered and partly motorized riflemen. And they began they are actions that many would consider an attack on Nikolaev, but something seems to me that this can’t even be called an action yet. strike in another , "said the adviser.

In general, in the south, according to him, “Russian troops are concentrating on the exit from the Crimea, where they have a small number of BTGs that can go both to Melitopol and Kherson. “ Let's see where they will be strengthened ,” Arestovich said.

As for our counter-offensive in the south, according to Arestovich, the Russians "have one more grouping, its task is to at least stop our advance in the area of ​​the Nikolaev-Kherson highway, where we came quite close." " This is Posad-Pokrovsk, and they are very worried, because Kherson is already visible from here . They plan to keep the defense there. In addition, they are very worried about our bridgeheads located off the coast of Ingulets. They want to occupy it. In general, they are going to fight ", said the adviser. According to him, in general, there are about 30 BTGs in the theater of operations in the south.

And this is practically all that the Russians have left, Arestovich notes. And in the Donetsk region, only mercenaries from the unrecognized "LDNR" remained to fight. " They are not pulling the entire front. The madness that is happening now from Avdiivka to Marinka, all these desperate attacks by Peskov and so on, is because the front has been completely given over to the so-called "DNR" and "LNR", there are no Russians there. They are killing themselves about our fortifications that we have been creating there for eight years. The result may be that in some areas they will advance a maximum of several hundred meters, and end physically. Moscow stupidly writes them off , "says the adviser.
