Russian military analyst Alexei Leonkov, in an interview with MK.RU, assessed the plans and real capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the winter campaign.
Leonkov noted that the Ukrainian army currently still has a certain amount of forces and means that can be used for local breakthroughs on the line of contact. Nevertheless, in the future, its “desires may diverge from the possibilities.”
According to the expert, in order to continue effective combat operations in the winter period, serious preparation is needed – in particular, warm clothing and life support systems for soldiers, as well as specialized equipment for equipment. “With these questions [at the Armed Forces of Ukraine – Ed.], everything is ambiguous,” he said.
The analyst also expressed the opinion that the Russian army “began to prepare for the upcoming winter campaign from the moment the partial mobilization was announced.”
“Filling with material and technical support is carried out precisely in order to carry out counter-offensive and offensive operations in the winter. But where they will start is, of course, a closed question”, he concluded.
