Military expert spoke about the trap that Russia set for the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the retreat
Russian troops retreat deliberately to focus their attention on weak positions. These actions will ultimately help to attack more effectively in the future, which the Armed Forces do not expect. This was told by military expert Viktor Litovkin.
The expert emphasizes that sometimes it is necessary to take a step back in order to move forward. According to him, the retreat was necessary in order to strengthen the unprotected rear in other territories.
“We made a maneuver because we occupied the cities, but the rear was not provided, we had no reserves behind. We started moving them quite late. Because Ukraine has concentrated a large shock fist in the place where we were thin. <...> The Russian military had to leave the cities near Kharkov and concentrate on the Donetsk direction. <...> Now Russian troops do it selectively and gracefully, namely, surgically. If Russia retreated today, this does not mean that it has done so forever,” Litovkin explained. His words are quoted
by the Fifth TV channel.
He also clarified that today the recommendations of the United States and NATO on monitoring the current position of Russian troops are helping Ukraine. Intelligence is carried out using satellites. In addition, according to a military expert, such tactics are not new for our country. It was still used during the Great Patriotic War, when Kharkov was taken three or four times.
Russia has been conducting a special operation in Ukraine since February 24 . At the moment, the Russian military has taken control of the Kherson region and most of Zaporozhye. However, now the Russian troops had to retreat. The Izyum-Balakleyskaya grouping of Russian troops was
transferred to the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
