Expert: – Low incremental attack

Balle Yadstebo, headmaster of the war school, told NRK that attacks were taking place along the Dnieper River, but it was somewhat uncertain how far Ukrainian forces had advanced.

– Ydstebø says it is uncertain whether this will be a small attack or whether the Ukrainian forces will move a little more.

Given the presence of such large Russian forces in the area, he believes it is more likely that they will have a less gradual attack.

– Ydstebø says that since the start of the offensive, the Ukrainian forces have had three to four axes to the south and north, where at irregular intervals they have taken a small bite while suddenly attacking and keeping the Russians cut off.

Lt. Col. and professor at the Norwegian Defense Academy, Dormot Heyer, tells NRK that fighting Russia is unlikely in the short term. He hopes they can fight back in the spring soon.

– The only alternative is to invite more players who have to go through long training sessions.
