Colonel Matviychuk assessed the threats from Ukraine's actions in this area
The Armed Forces of Ukraine can start the second phase of the offensive from an operation on the left bank of the Dnieper, where they have been holding a bridgehead for more than a day. Experts do not rule out that this will be the last and perhaps the most desperate chance for the enemy to balance the unsuccessful offensive. According to the former special forces officer, retired colonel Anatoly Matviychuk, the task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to realize the fantasies of the Kiev regime, namely, to try to cut the land corridor to Crimea.
The offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine seems to be moving into the second phase. An important element of the second part could be the operation on the left bank of the Dnieper in the area of the Antonovsky bridge. There, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been holding a small foothold for several days.
According to some information, the operation plan has already been prepared and approved in Kyiv. It is possible that against the backdrop of three weeks of marking time, the enemy may decide on the most crazy military adventure.
Recall that after the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and the flooding of the banks downstream, the first lines of defensive positions had to be abandoned. But, as soon as the water began to recede, the special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, numbering up to 50 people, managed to occupy a small area near the base of the Antonovsky bridge on the left bank of the Dnieper. It was not possible to knock him out of there for several days.
Assault groups of the Airborne Forces, with the support of artillery, are trying to force the enemy out of the bridgehead he has occupied. Our fighters are attacking the enemy using light armored vehicles, the enemy has grenade launchers and anti-tank guided missiles.
Some military correspondents note that the enemy’s activity in this area has “increased abnormally”, and “the intensity of crossings to our coast has increased manifold” .
It is difficult for our gunners to neutralize the enemy's high-speed boats, and Ukrainian electronic warfare equipment hinders the effective operation of our kamikaze drones.
Artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is located on the higher right bank of the Dnieper, can conduct aimed fire at our positions and assault units.
According to military analysts, our troops in this area, according to military analysts, could be helped by ground attack and bomber aircraft.< /p>
According to military expert Anatoly Matviychuk, about a hundred Ukrainian servicemen are now stationed on the left bank.
“They are trying to completely control the Antonovsky bridge, since this is the most convenient place for building a crossing,” he said. — This bridge is destroyed, it is practically incapacitated, but it can be repaired in a short time, as well as build pontoon crossings nearby. Now there is a fight going on. The Armed Forces of Ukraine want to gain a foothold on the left bank and create a foothold, but we are preventing them. I think that in the near future we will receive updated data.
According to experts, the tasks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine include a strike on the flanks of the Russian defense in the Kherson region with access to the Crimea. Or an attack on Armyansk, through which now, after the destruction of the Chongarsky bridge, the main supply flow of the Russian group passes. Anatoly Matviychuk is sure that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will try to realize Zelensky’s fantasies in the coming days.
—The main task of the enemy in this sector of the front is to cut the land corridor to Crimea,” he says.
Some experts predicted an operation to cross the Dnieper long before the start of the Ukrainian “counteroffensive”. And this direction was called auxiliary. However, after the enemy got bogged down in our defenses in Zaporozhye and other directions, the landing on the left bank of the Dnieper became perhaps the last chance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine for revenge.
On the night of June 26, the Russian Aerospace Forces again inflicted a massive missile a strike on enemy territory to weaken his offensive potential. Thus, explosions thundered in the Poltava, Kherson, Cherkasy, Kyiv and Odessa regions.
Rockets flew to Kyiv and Odessa. The most massive strike took place in the Odessa region, namely on the training camps where units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trained on Western equipment.
In the Odessa region, an enemy air defense system was also hit — according to some reports, the radar went out of order .
“All Calibers” reached their targets (according to our data, there is a possibility that these were not Calibers, but Onyx and Onyx-M missiles, which fly only on the most “delicious” purposes»). The Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to shoot down only part of the kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles, part of them reached their goals, ”the Legitimny channel noted.
