Rogov: Armed Forces of Ukraine have accumulated a grouping for an offensive in the Zaporozhye region

The military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) was able to accumulate a sufficient grouping for an offensive in the Zaporozhye region. About this in an interview with RIA Novosti informed head of the Zaporizhzhya movement “We are with Russia” Vladimir Rogov.

“They have amassed quite enough militants and weapons to stomp on the Zaporozhye sector of the front. We are waiting for them at any moment,” Rogov noted.

He drew attention to the fact that intelligence received data on the receipt by the nationalists of new armored vehicles, including Western weapons.

“The West is pushing Zelensky to attack, he is required to show the effectiveness of using Western weapons. The West needs quick results, we need military operations with a large number of dead people,” – stressed the interlocutor of the agency.

Rogov also drew attention to the fact that a series of ordered materials about the Zaporozhye region appeared in the Ukrainian media to prepare public opinion for a possible offensive. He called this an information-psychological operation to reduce the morale of the Russian military.

At the same time, Rogov assured that the enemy would not succeed and the nationalists would be given a tough rebuff.
