Russia preparing to invade Ukraine from north, east and south - Muzhenko

Chief of the General Staff Viktor Muzhenko said this at a meeting with defense officials and diplomats accredited in Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

"In modern geopolitical realities, we predict military threats in three of the four geographic directions - north, east and south. The Russian side completes the formation of attack groups on Ukraine's borders, which, jointly with special operations units - according to the Kremlin's strategists- will form the base of their invasion forces," Muzhenko said.

According to him, high mobility, adaptability and autonomy of Ukrainian troops, combined with the factor of "native land," are a strategic advantage of the Ukrainian Armed Forces over the occupation forces.

Muzhenko recalled that last week, at an operational and strategic gathering with the leadership of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, an emphasis was placed on the development of non-standard decisions in planning operations and conducting hostilities with the superior forces of the enemy.
