The Russian Armed Forces are concentrating their main efforts on complete control over the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in eastern Ukraine. This was reported on Wednesday by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The threat of the use of sea, air and land-based missile weapons remains.
The Russian army strikes at the objects of the defense complex, logistics infrastructure and residential areas of Ukrainian cities.
At the same time, attempts are being made to improve the tactical situation in the South Buzh direction.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not rule out that the Russian command could use the territory of Transnistria controlled by the separatists to support an offensive operation in this direction. Attention is drawn to the fact that preparations for receiving aircraft are being carried out at the Tiraspol airfield.
At the same time, the command of the RF Armed Forces may leave part of the forces on the territory of Belarus to constrain the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and prevent the transfer of forces to other directions.
