Russia is not going to end the war in 2023. The invaders will continue to conduct offensive operations.

Andrey Chernyak, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, told about this. He stressed that the Russian military will not succeed in any direction.

What are the enemy's plans

According to him, the invaders understand that they will lose, but they do not plan to end the war.

He is convinced that the question is in which territories the Russians plan to attack. Intelligence cannot predict this yet.

We're considering the possibility that they could withdraw from the north or east at the same time. Such actions of the enemy are expected and our troops are ready for this,” Chernyak said.

At the same time, he stressed that the occupiers on the territory of Belarus currently have no forces and means.

Representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate assures that the Russians will try to keep the land corridor to the Crimea and capture the entire Donetsk region. At the same time, in his opinion, the invaders will not be able to cross the Dnieper in order to capture Kherson again.

“According to the military intelligence of Ukraine, over the next 4-5 months, the Russian army may lose up to 70 thousand more people. And the leadership of the occupying country is ready for such losses,” Chernyak added.

What will change in the tactics of the Russians

• Vadim Skibitsky, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, said that the enemy has changed tactics at the front.
• The assault groups are being actively trained in various divisions and formations of the enemy army.
• Russia is forming small assault detachments of 140 to 160 people, which will be armed with tanks, mortars, and artillery systems. The purpose of creating such detachments is to carry out assault operations in certain areas of the front.
• In addition, Russia plans to pull up its reserves to the Ukrainian border, introduce new units and units of territorial troops into our territory. In particular, the latter is already observed in the Kherson region.
