Military expert

Oleg Zhdanov

stated that the possibility of Russian occupation forces attacking Kryvyi Rih and Mykolaiv is currently minimal.

He said this on his YouTube channel.

"The threat is minimal and, in principle, it has not changed. The fact that the group has increased, the threat has not changed. The fact is that the Russian Federation today is unlikely to be able to conduct an offensive operation there in the direction of Kryvyi Rih or Mykolaiv. He main efforts focus on the construction of defensive lines and on the organization and conduct of defense against the counteroffensive of our Armed Forces," Zhdanov said.

He also added that the front line has moved away from Kryvyi Rih.

"In the Kryvyi Rih direction, we pushed back the enemy almost 20 kilometers from Visokopil in the direction of Novaya Kakhovka. So the front line moved even further from Kryvyi Rih. The threat to Kryvyi Rih is now minimal," Zhdanov emphasized.
