Russian Forces Expected to Launch Assault on Zaporizhzhia Region Within Days, Military Reports

Russian forces may soon start ground attacks in the southern Zaporizhzhia region, possibly within days, according to Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesperson for the Defense Forces of the South.

Voloshyn stated that these attacks could put extra pressure on Ukrainian forces, who are already struggling in the east. It’s still unclear if Russia plans a large offensive or smaller, separate assaults.

“Assaults could start very soon—not in weeks, but any day now,” Voloshyn said.

He also noted that Russian troops in the area outnumber Ukrainian defenders by a large margin.

Russian forces are also intensifying their assaults in the Kursk region, reportedly launching attacks on Ukrainian positions every 10 to 15 minutes. An estimated 45,000 to 50,000 Russian troops are now concentrated in the area increasing the pressure on Ukrainian defenses.
