How long will the active Russian offensive last on different sections of the front – the former General Staff spokesman responds

Russia will continue to launch powerful attacks on various sections of the front for approximately another week or two.

This was stated by former spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military expert Vladyslav Seleznyov, as reported by "Espresso".

According to him, large-scale offensive operations typically can last from three to five months.

"Considering that the enemy began its offensive campaign as far back as October of last year, and General Budanov stated that by the beginning of March, the offensive potential of the Putin's army would be depleted, he was correct. However, this did not happen because the enemy utilized all, even strategic-level, untouched reserves and resources to maximally push our defense. To advance our troops, to gain a foothold and capture as much Ukrainian territory as possible", Seleznyov explained.

The expert pointed out that the Russians have a "window of opportunity", associated with the prolonged delay in military-technical aid from partners. And the enemy understands this well and takes advantage of it.

"Only now we are beginning to receive the first batches of weapons and ammunition. And this means that the resource balance is definitely not in our favor. Currently, the enemy is trying to take full advantage of this opportunity. Therefore, they are pushing forward, using whatever they have left. The Russians understand that in two weeks they will not have such opportunities because we will already have full parity on the battlefield," Seleznyov believes.

He assumed that, most likely, the enemy will continue to attack on a large scale in various areas of the front for a week or two, and then it will be forced to switch to an operational pause.
