The expert clarified that we are talking about the landing of enemy troops in Bessarabia.
At the moment, the level of threat to Odessa from Russian occupier remains quite high as Russia plans to open a second front.
About this in interview HB said military expert Oleg Zhdanov.
“Odessa today worries them the most, probably. Even more than the western regions of Ukraine, where they tried to destroy the infrastructure. Because they do not stop trying to open a second front. To do this, they need to land troops and strengthen the group of troops located in Transnistria. Therefore and the shelling of Odessa continues and may be intensified in the near future,” Zhdanov said.
The expert clarified that we are talking about the landing of enemy troops in Bessarabia.
“I mean landing not in Odessa – there is really a huge problem to land troops and, most likely, it will not succeed. But there is also Bessarabia, which they are trying to cut off from mainland Ukraine by destroying communication lines, namely the bridge over the Liman,” – said Zhdanov.
The expert also noted that the occupiers really need Snake Island.
“Why is such a fierce battle going on for Zmeiny Island? They want to use it as a springboard to support the operations of the Black Sea squadron to land troops. If air defense systems are deployed on Zmeiny, they will be able to cover the squadron from the air, approach Bessarabia and try to land troops.”
