Ukraine's Armed Forces can surround Russian forces in Izyum, on Dnipro's right bank, Kherson region - military expert
There is a very high likelihood that the Russian troops will be encircled in the Izyum area, Kharkiv region.
Military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko said this on Espreso TV.
"The Russian occupation group in Izyum may find itself encircled. This is a very high probability. We can predict that such a situation may be on Dnipro's right bank of the Kherson region. It will end in encirclement for some units," he said.
According to the expert, the Russians will not be able to hold the defense for a long time.
"They lack ammunition, they are in a very difficult logistical situation. There is no provision of advanced units with enough ammunition to maintain an effective defense. In defense, the Russian occupiers use the same tactics as in the offensive - a barrage of fire. Without it, there are no offensive or defensive actions, therefore they will be forced to retreat. I do not rule out that they will withdraw all their resources to Kherson, and after that they will decide how to force Dnipro in the direction of the left bank," Kovalenko said.
He did not rule out the redeployment of Ukraine's Armed Forces to the left bank, to the Zaporizhzhia region after the liberation of Dnipro's right bank of the Kherson region.
