Military expert, reserve colonel Roman Svitan, in an interview with Glavred, assessed the possible threat of a breakthrough of Russian troops into the territory of the Dnepropetrovsk region. According to him, although such a threat exists, the occupiers do not have sufficient resources for deep penetration.
Svitan clarified that the main danger comes from the south, from the area of the Vremovsky ledge, where the distance to the border with the Dnepropetrovsk region is less than 10 kilometers. He called this area potentially dangerous. However, in order to enter the region, Russian troops will need to significantly increase their grouping, the expert noted.
According to him, to create a serious threat, the enemy will have to transfer additional forces to the area of the Vremovsky salient, approximately equal to the 30-40 thousand soldiers already there. Without such reinforcement, the occupiers will only be able to touch the borders of the region, but will not begin to occupy it.
Svitan also noted that the main goal of the Russian troops will most likely be to oust Ukrainian units from the areas of Novoselka, Bolshaya Novoselka, Kurakhovo and Pokrovsk, and not complete control over the territory of the Dnepropetrovsk region.
The expert expressed confidence that there is no threat to the Dnepropetrovsk region and the city of Dnieper in 2025. Even if they have the opportunity to enter the territory of the region, Russian troops do not have the resources for its deep occupation, he concluded.
