The Russian occupiers may be preparing new strikes on the territory of Ukraine. At the same time, the Defense Forces are ready for this.
"It is obvious that they are preparing for something. But now they are maneuvering, and now one of the missile carriers has already entered the base station. Currently, there are one surface and two underwater missile carriers in the sea, which makes a total of 16 Kalibr missiles ready for use But we remember that it is not difficult for them to return that missile carrier to combat duty, it takes a few hours," Natalya Gumenyuk said.
Humeniuk noted that Russians have a certain tendency to repeat more or less significant operations for them.
She recalled that on December 5, when the Russians were preparing for a massive missile strike, they took out missile carriers and raised strategic and tactical aviation. Currently, a similar situation is observed.
"We are ready for this. We are aware that such a strike is possible. But we should not expect only a massive strike. We remember that they are capable of delivering point strikes as well," Humenyuk added.
In addition, she noted that Russia is really depleting its reserves, but one should not underestimate the enemy.
According to her, the occupiers are trying to replenish their reserves despite sanctions and restrictions on their capacities.
"We see that they are looking for an opportunity to delay the course of events, to take a so-called operational pause in order to raise reserves and continue their "victory show", as they believe. But our countermeasures are adequate, we will not give them that pause, because we realize that we need win our independence as quickly as possible," Humenyuk said.
