Ukraine braces for worst as Russian probing of frontlines intensifies
Russia is currently probing the frontlines, Mykola Volokhov, commander of the Terra unit within the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said in an interview on NV Radio on April 30.
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.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
