“If the geopolitical situation remains unchanged and continues as it is now, then the Dnipropetrovsk region will not be affected. The opponent, in principle, will maneuver to encircle the western flank of Pokrovsk,” claims Oleg Starikov.
If anything changes, he reflects, we will first see movement in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, where there is currently a relative calm, if such a term can be used in wartime. In other words, the expert explains, reconnaissance is being conducted, but intense combat operations are not currently taking place in these areas.
Regarding the Dnipropetrovsk region specifically, he notes that if Russian troops cross its administrative borders, it would signify a significant shift in the political and military state of the Russian-Ukrainian war, making it a different conflict altogether.
“Starting from the Dnipropetrovsk region, there are few defense points where the enemy can be held back. The geography there is completely different. Given the ongoing war, everything essentially relies on defense points and strongholds that we maintain. Well, Pokrovsk, Velyka Novosilka, this is all connected to cities, industrial and residential construction. Can fortifications be built? Yes. But how can one imagine building fortifications in the field? And what weaponry could dismantle them? Well, there are FABs; everyone has heard of FABs. FABs, in principle, destroy everything that can be destroyed,” explains Oleg Starikov.
