According to new reports from the Russian news service Avia-pro, the Wagner mercenary company is preparing for a large-scale attack on the armed forces of Ukraine.
According to the Russian service's information, the well-coordinated and powerful attack is expected to start within the next 1 to 2 months.
More specifically, in view of the movement of large forces of the private Vagner army from Russia to neighboring Belarus in the near future, there are reports that at this moment Vagner may be preparing a decisive strike against the armed forces of Ukraine.
During his latest statements, the head of the Wagner mercenary company said that in the near future his group's fighters will reappear on the front line. Prigozhin did not give further details, however, before that, the company chief said that the return of his mercenaries to the front line of battle is expected to take place in August this year.
According to a number of speculations published in various online media, the attack of the Wagner company from Belarus, even in the worst-case scenario for the Russians, will force Ukrainian troops to deploy up to 100 thousand soldiers on the front line. At least this is what Moscow's Avia-pro reports citing estimates.
As a result, the Wagner offensive may create favorable circumstances for the Russian army to launch an ideal counteroffensive so that it can prevail in all regions of the Lugansk People's Republic and Donetsk.
One of the main questions raised by the recent statements of Prigozhin, whose longevity is highly questioned by many political analysts (due to his conflict with President Putin), is from which direction or directions the mercenary company will launch this future large-scale attack.
From the moment Wagner units arrived in Belarus, which borders Ukraine from the north of the latter, Kiev has expressed concerns about an imminent invasion from this direction.
We should mention at this point that although the Belarusians have not directly participated in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, i.e. they have not sent part of their own army to the war, strong Ukrainian forces are guarding the Ukrainian-Belarusian border non-stop.
At any moment, Minsk's intentions could change abruptly, creating another difficult front that Zelensky had to defend. Now with Wagner "over its head" Ukraine is even more anxious and vulnerable. If Prigozhin decides to attack from Belarus and gets the green light from President Lukashenko, then things for Zelensky could quickly become very dark.
