Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, believes that “the situation at the front is perhaps the most threatening since the beginning of the full-scale war.” He wrote about this in Telegram.

“In 2022, we saw an outdated Russian army, ‘chmony’ (mocking of the clumsy appearance of the Russian military) and an insufficient number of officers with combat experience. But today we are facing a completely different army because the enemy is learning and developing. We lost a lot of time, delayed mobilization, while the enemy was preparing for a new stage of troop advance. We don't know the exact scenarios - Kharkiv, the South, Donbas, or all of them, with some offensive actions on the border. But they are preparing for an offensive,” noted Zhorin.

The military emphasized that he is writing this not to cause panic, but because he is sure that Ukrainians can cope with all this.


“At least the military is preparing, doing and will do everything within our capabilities. But I want the whole country to be involved and prepare as well,” emphasized Zhorin.
