There are up to 200,000 Russians in southern Ukraine. Will there be an offensive on Zaporizhzhia?

Since October, the Russian army has resumed tactical offensives in southern Ukraine – on the border of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. The Economist, citing a senior Ukrainian official, reported on October 23 that the next target of the Russian invasion forces could be an attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia.

Additional weapons and equipment will be sent to Zaporizhzhia, with special attention paid to preparing for defense operations in the fall and winter, says the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi.

Currently, there are no signs of offensive groups being formed in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces, tells LIGA.net.
