 Ukraine is preparing to break Russian defenses in Zaporizhzhia. The Ukrainian Armed Forces in early May launched massive strikes on the Zaporizhzhia region settlements near the line of engagement as they probe the defenses of Russian forces ahead of a planned offensive, Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the We Are Together with Russia movement, told. They are probing, checking where they can stick their noses in, where they can act. They are watching our speed of response, the placement of air defense systems, the location of hidden guards and security points. At the same time, their agents are also monitoring the situation. They are watching from the outside to see what happened, who reacted, how fast we arrived. He commented on the increased frequency of shelling of the Zaporizhzhia region by the Ukrainian forces in recent days. According to the official, the methods of the Ukrainian military are explained by Kiev's desire to intimidate residents and drive them from their land.
