2/ #Prigozhin voiced his concerns about a possible Ukrainian counteroffensive in eastern UKR during a 23-minute interview on March 23 in which he claimed that UKR has 200,000 reserves concentrating to attack along the entire eastern frontline, into Belgorod Oblast, & in Bakhmut.

Breve aggiornamento: le nostre fonti a Bakhmut riferiscono che la controffensiva 🇺🇦 potrebbe iniziare leggermente in ritardo rispetto a quanto previsto per via della situazione con il terreno che ancora impedisce le manovre dei mezzi pesanti (vedesi video nel post successivo).1/4
Le operazioni dovrebbero iniziare ad Aprile e potremmo osservare contrattacchi su più direzioni se le forniture di aiuti Occidentali saranno sufficienti (i due fronti papabili per uno sfondamento sono quello sud e quello di Bakhmut).
