An analysis of Russian fortifications suggests that critical ground lines of communications (GLOC) from Crimea to mainland Ukraine are threatened by further Ukrainian offensive in Kherson Oblast, the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) stated in a new update on Nov. 27.
While that doesn’t mean that Ukraine is planning or capable of crossing the Dnipro River, the ISW stated that their assessment of the Russian positions in the region allows them to suggest that Russian commanders "clearly regards a Ukrainian counter-offensive across the Dnipro and/or via the Kinburn Spit as possible and very dangerous."
Considerable efforts were put into fortifying defensive lines by Russian troops, but it contains a lot of vulnerable points that Ukrainian troops can use in their favor, as they have already done.
The Russian military "clearly do not expect to be able to prevent Ukrainian forces from getting across the river, nor are the Russians prioritizing defensive positions to stop such a crossing," ISW experts say.
Rather, Russia's troops are preparing for a long defense of their positions in the east of Kherson Oblast that " could allow the establishment of a solid Ukrainian lodgment on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River." --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to +++++relevant+++++ and related stories:
