Volokhov’s unit is bracing for a worst-case scenario —
Russia’s potential replication of a mass attack on various fronts to
significantly advance into Ukrainian territory.
“They’re trying to probe where they can advance and where
they cannot,” he said.
The Russians have yet to achieve significant success in this
probing, Volokhov said, describing it as “a little push here, a little push
there.”
“We are preparing for the worst-case scenario, considering
the enemy’s maximum capabilities, not its most likely actions,” he said.
“By doing so — a strategy applicable in both warfare and business — we’re strategizing on how to preempt the enemy, at least in planning our own actions. If their capabilities turn out to be less formidable than anticipated, then all the better.”
