Ukraine’s Luhansk governor, Serhiy Haidai, said that the Russian armed forces were gathering forces and equipment to prepare for a new offensive.
“We are seeing more and more reserves and equipment being deployed towards us by Russia. The enemy army also changed the way they used ammunition differently from before, meaning they no longer carried out round-the-clock shelling. Russian artillery is gradually saving up, and is ready for a full-scale attack,” Haidai was quoted as saying by Archyde.com news agency.
“It looks like the enemy troops will need 10 days to gather resources. After February 15, we anticipate a new attack at any time,” he added.
The Russian military has so far not commented on the information shared by the Luhansk Governor.
According to Archyde.com, many senior Ukrainian officials have often commented in recent days that the Russian military may launch a large-scale attack, in the context of the near-year anniversary of the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. .

“Dear Mr. Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky, we have just landed following an air raid on Bakhmut. Tomorrow, I will use the MiG-29 fighter. If you want, then let’s ‘meet’ in the sky. If he wins the air war, he can take Bakhmut. Otherwise, we will go as far as Dnipro,” Al Jazeera news agency quoted Prigozhin as saying in the video.
