Russia has a potential attack – Kirby

The United States has not ruled out the possibility that Russia could step up attacks on the battlefield because “it still has the potential to attack.” John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, said this on Thursday, October 26.

“We expect more Russian attacks – this is a dynamic conflict, and we must remember that Russia still maintains some offensive capabilities. To achieve results in Avdievka and other areas in the field of the war, Russia continues to neglect the lives of soldiers, “he. said.

At the same time, he pointed out that during the fighting around Avdeevka, starting on October 11, Russian forces lost at least 125 units of equipment in offensive attempts.

Kirby did not rule out that Russian offensive attempts in the Avdeevka area could continue and that Russian troops “may achieve some tactical gains in the next few months at the expense of thousands of Russian military personnel who thrown into battle without proper preparation.”

“We have information that the Russian military has actually killed soldiers who refused to obey orders…Russian commanders are threatening to shoot entire units if they attempt to retreat under Ukrainian artillery fire ,” Kirby said.
