Weather in Ukraine’s south support expectation of good news - Stuhna unit commander Linko

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"There are local battles in the south, but there are no tactical changes on the front line. Good weather gives us the opportunity and prospects to take the necessary actions on our part. We will expect good news in the southern direction as well," noted Linko.

According to the commander of the Stuhna unit, Russia is most likely to expect active actions on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the south.

"As soon as there is any activity, Russians raise a hue and cry that the Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive has already begun. The occupiers are really afraid of this and are preparing. They have built an echeloned defense. But no one knows exactly where the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which everyone is waiting for, will take place. And this is good, because military secrecy must be maintained," emphasized Linko.

• Russia started the formation of a separate motorized rifle brigade in the Stavropol region, using funds from the Southern Military District.

• Ukrainian Defense Forces begin to "shape" operations ahead of expected counteroffensive against the Russian army.
