The expert explained the difficulties that may arise during the offensive operation of the Ukrainian army in the south of the country.
The armed forces can probably go into occupied Crimea after the liberation from the Russians of the Kherson region.
Such an opinion expressed military expert Oleg Zhdanov.
According to him, this will require a lot of forces – part of the Ukrainian troops can go to the east, other units – to the peninsula.
“There are really very few motorized rifle and tank units there today, mainly repair and restoration, air defense, coast guard, forces of the Black Sea Fleet. The number of troops is not so large. to the Crimea, part of the forces will have to hold back the onslaught of Russian troops from the Donetsk region), there is also a direct border from the Rostov region, they have replenishment. The only thing is that there is no railway there, it will be very difficult for them. From Mariupol on foot, and further if it still intact – then you can transfer by rail, although it is easier to transfer troops on your own,” the expert said.
