Quote from Zhyrnov: "Currently, if we look at the Bryansk and Kursk Oblasts, we do not see any actual signs of the formation of troops.  However, we know that the Russian Federation can also use the territory of Belarus.

Kyiv, as the capital, is a priority target for occupation by the Russian troops. Given the significant amount of human and logistical resources in Russia, the danger of a second offensive remains.

We understand that a re-offensive requires a large grouping of troops, and this requires time to prepare. In today's conditions, it is impossible to do this suddenly or in a short time.

We closely monitor the actions of the Russian occupying forces on a daily basis. The threat exists and will continue to exist until we win, but Kyiv is preparing to give a proper rebuff to the enemy!"

Why this is important: Recently, information has begun to appear more and more often on the internet that the Russians will want to attack the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions again if they succeed in Donbas.

Opinions in the politicum are divided – some report that this is an information and psychological special operation of the Russian Federation (PSYOP), while others are already advising mining the northern borders of the country.

Background:

•   Russia has sent artillery and missile forces to the Kursk Oblast, which borders Ukraine.

·   Back in March, Zhyrnov reported that the Russians must gather all available human resources and bring them to the capital in order to be able to capture it.
