Russia redeploys battered airborne troops to the south: what does it mean

Russian troops have conducted a rotation of their units in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions of Ukraine. This was reported by the spokesman for the South Defense Forces, Vladislav Voloshyn.

'These are units of their airborne troops, which are quite battered in battles. They are being redeployed to the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions for recovery',

The preparation for actions and recovery after losses is the main task of these units. In addition to rotation, Russian troops are also preparing assault groups for possible active combat operations.

Occupants' Plans and Ukrainian Defense

According to Voloshyn, although there have been no significant retreats of enemy troops in the south recently, the preparation of the occupants indicates their intention to maintain pressure on the Ukrainian defense.

'The enemy is preparing for conducting assault operations with small groups of infantry and infiltration tactics',

While there is currently no threat of a large attack, the situation at the front can change rapidly, so Ukrainian troops must be prepared for any possible scenarios.

The conflict in eastern Ukraine remains tense as the occupants prepare for possible combat operations and continue interaction with defense forces. In case the situation worsens, Ukrainian forces must be ready to defend the territory of the country.
