The Russians are in a panic.
The Ukrainian military has achieved tactical successes in one of the key areas of the front. According to military expert, AFU reserve colonel Roman Svitan, the enemy suffered a number of defeats, in particular in the area of Gulyaypol in the Zaporizhzhya direction.
Svitan noted in his commentary to "24 Kanal", the tactical advance of Ukrainian forces from the direction of Varvarovka continues. According to him, these actions can already be considered an army-level operation.
The expert emphasized that Russian units found themselves in a difficult situation due to their own miscalculations. In particular, they advanced deeply into the rear of the Ukrainian positions without providing sufficient operational filling and reinforcements.
"With well-defined tasks and sufficient forces and means, it is possible to create a serious problem for the Russians in the Zaporizhzhya direction - to restore the lost positions both on the eastern flank near Gulyaypol and on the western flank near Stepnogorsk," Svitan said.
The situation for the enemy was complicated by technical factors. According to the expert, one of the key moments was the blocking of communication via Starlink, as well as disruptions in the work of Telegram.
Because of this, enemy units were virtually cut off from coordination and control.
The Russian military, according to the Ukrainian side, tried to move between Orekhovo and the Dnieper River towards Zaporizhzhya, as well as to use the territory of the former Kakhovka reservoir for an offensive. However, now they are in a difficult position.
Roman Svitan believes that when conducting another tactical operation, Ukrainian forces can create a serious threat of encirclement for the enemy.
"If we again conduct an operation of tactical level, the enemy can be taken into a serious cauldron," the expert emphasized.
He recalled that similar successful actions have already been carried out in the Kupyansk direction, as well as in the areas of Dobropillya, Pokrovsk, Mirnohrad and Hryshyno.
Svitan said that we are talking about operational rather than strategic tasks, but their implementation demonstrates positive dynamics and added that against the background of communication problems and losses, Russian units are in a pre-panic state.
