Russia to focus attacks on three key fronts this winter, says military expert

The enemy is attempting to reposition its forces, move reserves along the front line, and focus on select attack directions.

The current key areas are Kurakhove and Pokrovsk. The enemy is being held back effectively, but suffering significant losses.

Although the enemy has made slight advances, they have come at a high cost, which reflects the strength of our defensive operations.

The Kupyansk area is also challenging, but we’ve managed to slow the enemy's progress there after they became more active and made some advances. The same goes for Kursk Oblast.

These three areas — Kurakhove, Kupyansk-Lyman, and Kursk Oblast — are expected to be the enemy’s primary focus in the near future.

The enemy also attempted to break through in the Zaporizhzhya area, looking for gaps in our defense, but their efforts have not been successful.

Ukrainian forces have moved additional units to counter any further enemy activity or attempts to advance in that area.

In the coming days and weeks, the primary focus for the enemy will be Kurakhove, the Kupyansk-Lyman area, and Kursk Oblast, with the potential to narrow their offensive to Kurakhove-Pokrovsk and Kursk Oblast. These will be the main strike directions for the enemy, particularly over the winter as they continue their offensive operations.
