The Russian Ministry of Defense showed the plan for the summer counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the southern front.

Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Valery Gerasimov said at a briefing for foreign military attaches that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine aimed to deprive Russia of the land corridor to Crimea by cutting it in the Zaporozhye region. As we remember, there really was such a plan.

By the end of the 15th day of the offensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intended to blockade Melitopol and then advance with access to the coast of the Azov Sea, Mariupol and the border with Crimea.

If we recall the leaked discussions of the Ukrainian command about the counter-offensive, as well as the opinions of the participants themselves from the 47th Magura brigade, this does not seem impossible. Let us recall that the Ukrainian command placed the main emphasis on the plans “the Russians will see Bradley and run away” and “Tokmak in three days.”
