Russia has no prerequisites to launch attack on Siversk - military expert Zgurets

Serhiy Zgurets, Defense Express CEO and military expert, commented on Russia's intentions to capture Siversk, Donetsk region

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"Bilohorivka and Serebrianka forestry will determine the enemy's capability to advance towards Siversk from the north. But this front line has remained unchanged for a long time. So far, there are no grounds for the enemy to start attacking Siversk. It would be irrational under these conditions," Zgurets reported.

According to him, in recent days, Russian troops have intensified their activities in the Lyman direction.

“Russians are trying to conduct combat operations in the direction of Terny, Yampolivka, Torske. The number of attacks has increased. But attempts to advance towards Terny end in the destruction of Russian equipment. Despite the enormous losses, the enemy will continue to try to push Ukrainian troops beyond the Zherebets River and advance to the Lyman, thus creating conditions for an offensive on Siversk," he added.
