After two weeks of only a stalemate in the fighting in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, Kiev is preparing for a major Russian offensive aimed at restoring the momentum of the Russian army's offensive, halted by the stubborn fighting of the Ukrainian defenders.
A security source in Kiev told Israel today that intelligence in the hands of Kyiv indicates advanced preparations for a three-axis Russian offensive in the Luhansk region, aimed at purging the last remaining Ukrainian strongholds in the province.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Russians plan to complete the conquest of the city of Swarovnetzak and as a capitulation to nearby Sicensk.
In addition, the Russians plan to attack from the direction of Poposna to the town of Bhamut, in an attempt to cut off the last road leading to the Ukrainian enclave, which the Russian army has not been able to achieve for more than a month of fighting.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zlansky addressed the fear of a Russian attack and said in a nightly speech: "Understandably, we expect Russia to escalate its effort against us in the coming week, we expect an attack and we are ready. Only a positive result for Ukraine is in the interest of the whole of Europe."
Zelsky visited yesterday for the first time since the Russian invasion of the city of Mikuliev, which is near the Visa front line in the great destruction of the city center by the Russian army.
The city, which remained the source of electricity and water, repulsed five Russian attempts to gain control of its territory and now serves as a base for the Ukrainian army to launch counter-attacks towards the city of Kherson.
