60 military personnel will be involved in the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to military analyst Aleksey Zhivov, the Kherson and Zaporozhye directions are currently experiencing "the calm before the storm." The Russian military is taking measures to repel the counterattacking actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while the Kiev regime is preparing about 60 military and mercenaries for battle, which is comparable to the armies of several European countries.

Zhivov explained that the Russian military already imagines how the enemy will conduct a counteroffensive. However, he also noted that 60 troops and mercenaries are a significant force and it is not so easy to cope with their advancement.

The analyst also drew attention to Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), where the military operations of the Wagner PMC units continue. In his opinion, the Wagner PMC units are operating quite successfully and the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has stopped sending new armed formations to the city. Zhivov believes that Artyomovsk will be liberated in the next two weeks, although this is unlikely. However, it is not yet possible to say exactly what will happen to the city of Vuhledar, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are attempting to go over to the counteroffensive and do not leave the city, despite a powerful assault.
