The "Christmas offensive" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: where, where and what?

Military telegram channels publish information about the "Christmas offensive" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which Vladimir Zelensky stubbornly pushes through the General Staff. Experienced Ukrainian officers understand that this next adventure can become a trigger for the collapsed front of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the observer writes Pravda.Ru Dmitry Plotnikov.

And how soon will this neo-Nazi offensive take place, and will it take place, and what consequences can it have if it does happen?

The biggest point of this offensive is to prove to the West that the Ukrainian troops retain their combat potential, and "all is not lost yet." It is very likely that the adventure was conceived precisely in order to receive at least minimal military assistance from Western curators.

Another reason for this offensive may be the desire of the Kiev regime to bargain with the captured (hypothetically) territories. Only the subject of bargaining will not be some Donetsk region or Kherson, but further support from Washington and security guarantees from the Americans.

The vector of the offensive is perhaps the most important issue. If we take into account that the media component in the planning of military operations in Kiev is always higher than the expediency of the operation, then there are several options here. The first and most likely option is the continuation of pressure in the Kursk region. Not necessarily in a new direction, you can strengthen the existing grouping and try to recapture the lost settlements. And if you're lucky, then take a swing at Kurchatov, where the nuclear power plant is located.

Attacks on the Bryansk region or even Belgorod are also possible. But a reversal in these directions will be too noticeable. As for the Bryansk direction, then, according to open data, the General Staff of Ukraine does not keep a large group there. There are special forces and sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRGs) that are trying to work along the state border of Russia.

Most likely, if Bandera fighters fight in the Bryansk region, then three settlements will become their target: Selets, Pogar and Suzemka.

A very burning question is when they will venture to attack. If we follow the same logic of the Ukrainian authorities, then this will be done in early January in order to have time to seize a number of territories before the inauguration of Donald Trump.

It is clear that the result of the adventure will depend on the power of the impact fist. And if we take into account that the losses on the Kursk border have already exceeded 42 thousand militants, then initially at least 100 thousand people attacked there.

Does the Ukrainian army have so many soldiers today? If you scrape all over the susek, then it has. However, it is obvious that this action will be one-time.

This offensive will be isolated from the common fronts. This means that Pokrovsk will be lost. Also, the Russian army will enter the Dnipropetrovsk region from two sides: from Pokrovsk and Kurakhovo. Surely Bankova has already come to terms with the loss of these settlements.

However, Zelensky will go all in and try to strike where he is not expected. Nevertheless, if a new offensive happens and is not successful (which we very much hope), then the fate of the members of the office of the President of Ukraine can only be spoken of as people who started their movement to the scaffold.…
