Military expert Oleg Zhdanov explained why the decisive period of the

war

in Ukraine is now approaching.

He told about this in

an interview with

TSN.ua.

"Now the situation is deadlocked on the front line, that's why. On the one hand, at the beginning of autumn, we accumulated reserves and took a powerful step in terms of counteroffensive actions, conducted more than one counteroffensive operation. And today at the front, I would say, there is such a parity and a deadlock situation in it makes sense that who is who. Russia is filling its troops with mobilized troops and this makes it possible to stabilize the situation at the front. We cannot advance, we do not have enough reserves, and they are consolidating their units and units. Due to the number, they stop our offensive" - he said.

Therefore, as Zhdanov explained, the decisive moment today is who will quickly accumulate reserves, who will be able to go on the offensive sooner.

"We are on the counteroffensive, or the Russian Federation is on the offensive. Therefore, this moment can be considered decisive today," the expert said.

Russia continues mobilization, asks Iran for missiles and is ready for negotiations with Ukraine

According to military expert Dmytro Snegyrev, 

there are now about 82,000 people mobilized

in the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, and about 220,000 people mobilized in Russia to strengthen the Russian Guard. 

According to analysts from the Institute of War, partial mobilization did not help Putin achieve his plans,

therefore, he is likely to

continue his covert mobilization.

According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, the Russian dictator Putin 

wants to gather a million mobilized

 men and has high hopes for them, because he expects a long war.

At the same time, according to expert Dmytro Snegiriev, mobilization leads

to destabilization of the situation inside Russia

.

Because of Russia's failures on the Ukrainian front, the sidelines again talked about 

who could replace Vladimir Putin

 as president.

Today, November 9, the representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, said that 

Russia is ready for negotiations with Ukraine

"taking into account the realities that are developing now."

It is also worth adding that today the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Serhiy Shoigu, ordered the commander of the so-called "special operation" in Ukraine, Surovikin 

, to retreat from the right bank of the Dnieper.

The Office of the President of Ukraine believes that Russia is exhausted, but is looking for opportunities to continue the war.

Exactly

therefore, the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Mykola Patrushev 

went to Iran to ask for missiles and drones

.

According to the former commander of the US Ground Forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Godges,

an attack on Ukraine from Belarus today is unlikely

.

If Oleksandr Lukashenko orders his army to advance, the Belarusians may revolt.
