βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦β˜’οΈ On the AFU Plans to seize #ZNPP and #Energodar⚑️

πŸ—“ The other Day
, British intelligence published photo of the territory of the #Zaporozhye NPP, taken on 25 Mar from a satellite. In the picture you can see the installation of firing positions and loopholes right on the roof of the NPP behind the reactors.

πŸ”ΉWhy might such measures be needed?

The AFU command is intensively preparing for the offensive. Although its terms have been shifted more than once, according to characteristic signs, it is not far off. Western curators need success, and they are pushing the AFU hard to attack.

One of the enemys' main goals is to seize the #Zaporozhye region, including #Energodar and #ZNPP. The NPP has been the subject of negotiations mediated by the IAEA since late last year.

Then the Ukrainians tried to push through the creation of first a 30km and then a 5km buffer zone around the #ZNPP with the full withdrawal of Russian troops and equipment, including air defence. The Russians rejected the demands, so no agreement could be reached.

πŸ”ΉWhat is happening at the Moment?

Units of the 121st and 129th Territorial Defence (TD) Brigades are concentrated on the Kakhovka Reservoir coast on the right bank of the #Dnieper River. The 178th Battalion of the 121st TD Brigade operates at the #Maryanskoye - #Dudchany line, and 5 Battalions of the 129th TD Brigade are stationed along the reservoir on the #Nikopol - #Ilyinskoye - #Kanevskoye line.

In the last 3 months, at the training ground in #Maryanskoye, under the leadership of the tactical special forces group of the South command, assault groups have been preparing to force water barriers and land troops on the unequipped coast

At least 12 barges are moored at #Nikopol and #Pokrovskoye, which are planned to be used for the transfer of personnel and military equipment to #Energodar, and firing positions of long-range M777 howitzers with Excalibur guided munitions are equipped along the coast.

❗️In Addition, the πŸ‘‰ recently arrived forces of the 71st Jager Brigade are stationed on the #Pokrovskoye - #Nikopol - #Marganets line. The 71st Jager Brigade took part in #Bakhmut defence, and some survivors of the meat grinder have experience in urban battles.

πŸ”ΉWhat will the AFU achieve?

The offensive plan is to strike in one or two main directions and a few stilted ones along the front. The enemy pays special attention to the territories on the left bank of the #Dnieper in their plans.

As the attack starts, one can expect simultaneous forcing of the #Dnieper by tactical landing not only from the #Kherson side but also from the line #Dudchany - Zolotaya Balka - #Maryanskoye - #Pokrovskoye line, where 121st and 129th TD Brigades have taken up positions.

The most combat-ready forces of the 71st Brigade were given the task of assaulting #Energodar from two sides, #Nikopol and #Marganets. In theory, this will allow taking control of the #ZNPP and provide a bridgehead for the landing of a larger group to break through to #Crimea.

πŸ”ΉThe Russian Command is well aware of the impending Ukrainian operation. Therefore, the equipment of defensive positions at the #ZNPP and around its territory is a completely logical step.

It is necessary to strengthen not only the area of the NPP and #Energodar, but also the coastal line from Bolshaya Lepetikha to #Dneprorudny and #Vasilyevka. The #Kakhovka reservoir is quite extensive, and attacks can occur at any site.

Not only the area of the NPP and Energodar, but also the coastal line from Bolshaya Lepetikha to #Dneprorudnoye and #Vasilievka should be reinforced. The #Kakhovka reservoir is quite extensive, and attacks could occur in any of the areas.

It is vital for the AFU to occupy a wide bridgehead on the entire left bank of the #Dnieper River in order to execute their plan. Related to this is the πŸ‘‰ probing of the ground by the Ukrainian paratroopers on the islands in the #Kherson region.
