Zhdanov said that if Ukraine has the forces and means, then it must inflict fire damage on the occupiers in any territory where there is a line of contact with them, in particular, which is today our state border, NBN reports with reference to Apostrophe.
According to the expert, the entry into Kursk Oblast is intended to eliminate the threat to Sumy Oblast, create a buffer zone on the territory of the border region of the Russian Federation, stop the operation of the railway and stop the roads on which the logistics of the Northern Group of Russian Forces were built.
Speaking about advancing deep into Russian territory and establishing control over the Kursk NPP, the expert expressed confidence that such actions do not make tactical sense. In addition, such a step by Ukraine could be criticized by its allies.
Zhdanov noted that, in addition to this, even if the Defense Forces take the nuclear power plant, they will have to hold a corridor 70 kilometers long, which is very difficult. Or they will have to liberate the territory around the facility to create a bridgehead, for which there are unlikely to be enough forces and resources.
Earlier, Alexander Musienko named the main goals of the “breakthrough” in Kursk Oblast.
