The occupiers will likely carry out further mobilizations and intensify activation at the front.
Today in Russia the main leaders of the war have been replaced. In particular, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has appointed RF Armed Forces Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov as commander of the Joint Group of Forces in Ukraine. Sergei Surovikin, who held this post before Gerasimov, was appointed his deputyM. Surovikin lasted only three months in office.
Ukrainian military expert, former spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Selezhnevthat he is perfectly aware of the military vertical, he said in a commentary for TSN.ua about how it can affect the situation in our country.
“I think it has to do with the fact that Putin ready to raise rates, – says Vladislav Seleznev. – Most likely, it will attract additional reserves to implement the plan to capture the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. He is trying to gain a foothold in the south to maintain the corridor connecting occupied Donetsk with occupied Crimea.”
Directly about personnel decisions, Selezhnev says this: “These personnel decisions are actually strengthening the leadership that will continue to manage the so-called operation. They act in such a way as to appoint an official with the highest authority. Chief of the General Staff . This means that all components of the structure of the armed forces of the Russian Federation are subordinate to him. Now Gerasimov will be able not only to manage the operation, but also to determine what is needed to effectively carry out the tasks that Putin and Shoigu set for him. This is an increase in the status of commander and further mobilization can be done. They’re talking about half a million people. Perhaps this will be the intensification of hostilities in different sectors of the front. As for Surovikin (commander of the Aerospace Forces, who led the bombing of the Ukrainian energy infrastructure-ed.), I think he will work in the “field”. His full-time position, commander of the aerospace forces, has not gone away.
Will the missile attacks be intensified? – Selezhnev answered this question as follows: “If we talk about missile strikes, then the tactics, I think, will be determined collectively, taking into account military-technical capabilities. If they have enough missiles and drones, they will cover us with them. ” Will there be activation at the front? “Yes, of course. Now there are not enough resources to achieve Putin’s goal, so the number will increase, but the tasks will remain the same. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny spoke about this, naming three critical directions : the east, an attempt to attack our positions in the Zaporozhye direction to secure a land corridor, the third direction is Kiev.
