Reserve Colonel and military observer Gennady Alekhin said that Russia has begun preparations for an offensive in the direction of Kharkov and that there may be serious changes in the line of contact soon. He reported that ura.ru.
If you carefully study the reports of the Russian Ministry of Defense, namely, which targets and in which directions were struck, for example, towards Kharkov, you will notice that large fire attacks, military infrastructure objects, command posts are regularly carried out there. The observer said that there are places where Ukrainian troops are concentrated.
He believes it was done for a reason. “In army language, the implementation of large fire attacks by artillery, MLRS, military aviation is called fire preparation for the attack,” said Alekhin.
According to him, military experts on both sides understand that “some major events” and “big changes on the battlefield” will soon occur on the line of contact. The Russian troops could provide flanking attacks, “some protection” and breakthroughs, as he suggested.
The reserve colonel added that only a narrow circle is aware of this and that the next action plan will depend on the situation in the war zone.
