A few words about the counterattack, based
on Foreign policy...

Franz-Stéphane Gady's article about how the
first 24 hours of the Ukrainian armed forces'

counteroffensive could be decisive has caught
the attention of many and in very interesting

ways.

For example, questions that require clarification.

For instance, the Foreign policy article states
that the main task of the AFU in the first

24 hours will be to cause paralysis of the
Russian army command.

But what if this is not done in the first
24 hours, all is lost?

In fact, I am surprised that anyone is so
confident about the scenario of the coming

counterattack.

First of all, let me remind you that no counteroffensive
by the AFU is similar to the previous one.

For example, on the northern beachhead these
were systemic counter-attacks from the defense

with excessive activity in the rear of the
enemy.

In the Kharkiv region it was rapid assault
actions.

To some extent, the actions in the Kharkiv
region are similar to what is described in

Foreign Policy.

The Russian command at the time did not expect
a counterattack on this bridgehead and was

in a stupor for the first 24 hours.

On the right bank of the Kherson region there
was a methodical squeezing of the occupants

from the right bank.

Thus, the scenario of the forthcoming counterattack
is unlikely to be similar to the above.

And since it will be unique, who knows, maybe
it has already been developing for 72 hours

and we just don't know it.

Before I continue, I ask you to subscribe
to my channel, it will help to promote it.

Many people think that a counter-offensive
is when Ukrainian tanks with waving flags

roll across the Zaporizhzhya steppes or whatever,
and the Russian invaders run, throwing their

weapons and equipment, all the way to Moscow.

No, my friends, the tanks in the steppes are
only a stage, and almost the final one.

It is necessary to prepare for the offensive,
and it is not only a question of accumulating

arms and ammunition and training the soldiers
and crews.

That goes without saying.

It is necessary to "prepare" the enemy, too.

Every day the Russian occupiers are hit, lots
and lots of them - Ukrainians are hitting

ammunition depots and accumulations of equipment,
barracks and communication routes.

They systematically burn logistics and reserves.

Moreover, exactly along the entire front line,
from the Spit of Kinburn to the border with

the Belgorod region.

This is so that it is impossible to calculate
the direction of the main strike.

And at the same time, it is necessary to conduct
heavy defensive battles for Bakhmut and Avdeevka.

The AFU general staff has a monstrous task
- to prepare everything, hide the direction

of the strike and calculate the moment when
the enemy is completely exhausted, but does

not have time to switch to defense.

A war of nerves, of sorts.

So - be patient, everything will happen.

But exactly when the moment is right for it.

And, of course, no one as a weather forecast
will not publish the date.

All we will know in fact, when it happens.

- Why are Ukrainian soldiers burning Russian
ammunition depots?

- To give the Russian occupiers a warm welcome.

I'm wrapping up for today, but I'll see you
all tomorrow.
