The head of the “Return Alive” foundation, Taras Chmut, notes that the enemy does not have the potential to completely capture Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro or Kharkiv, but the enemy can take advantage of the chaos in the management of Ukrainian troops and achieve certain local victories.

Direct speech: “On Kherson: there is a big water obstacle there – the Dnipro River. In recent months, there have been active talks about the preparation of their possible river landing. Krynyi is an ambiguous story in this war. But at the same time, the Russians have studied it well and drawn a conclusion.
If you look at their war strategy, where human life is worth nothing, then it could potentially be a success for them. Why? Because the mirror Kryna in relation to us will bind the huge resource of the Armed Forces, which is already in short supply. And the losses that the Russians will bear there are absolutely acceptable for them.
We are not talking about capturing all of Kherson. And the fact that the preparation for a possible river landing now and six months ago has a different manifestation, and now it is more likely – this is from one side.
On the other hand, the Russians are depopulating Kherson by destroying civil infrastructure, logistics, minibuses, ambulances, simply by dropping rockets from Mavik on people right on the street. Their task is to make a dead city. They are doing it now. And, unfortunately, the loss of the islands on the Dnieper, the shift of the contact line closer to the right bank leads to the fact that you can simply launch Maviks and FPVs into the city from the islands.”
Details: Regarding Zaporizhzhia, Chmut noted that the city is under the influence of fire, and the Russians are trying to move towards it.
“This is not the main direction, although a few months ago we expected major offensive actions there, it is no secret – half the army was there. And the Russians say everywhere that they would like to reach it. But it is not as easy as it seems, so that the distances are still not small. But just like Kherson, under the influence of fire, they make the city deserted,” said the volunteer.
Regarding the Dnipro, Chmut notes that the situation is better there, because the distance is greater. But a similar story. And the same with Kharkiv.
According to him, the potential to seize any of these four cities on the move – the Russians obviously do not have it, but chaos in the management of troops will lead to the fact that the Defense Forces can be scattered on the front in such a way that it will not be landings and kilometers, but brigade defense areas , tens of kilometers simultaneously.
