Russians fear Ukrainian counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia Region
Occupiers fear Ukrainian counteroffensive in Zaporizhzhia Region
The occupiers fear the Ukrainian military's offensive, especially in the southern part of the occupied Zaporizhzhia region. They are flooding fields and opening floodgates in irrigation canals to hinder the advance, as reported by Yuriy Malashko, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Water Management District, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.
"They do everything to prevent us from going this or that way," the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Water Management District explained, referring to the occupiers' tactics of opening floodgates in irrigation canals to flood the fields. He also said that while the collaborators in the occupied area are not leaving, their families are departing for Russia or the occupied Crimea. When asked if they are afraid, he said, "Of course, they are."
Malashko said the number of daily attacks on Zaporizhzhia region has increased to around 100-120. These attacks primarily target civilian infrastructure, justifying the Russians' fears about our imminent attack.
Ukraine's counteroffensive
On May 27, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov said that Ukraine is prepared for a counteroffensive to liberate the territories from the Russians. The counteroffensive could begin within the next week.
According to Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Presidential Administration, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' counteroffensive has already been underway for several days. The Pentagon expects tanks to play a crucial role in providing firepower and support to the Ukrainian forces during the counteroffensive.
