The politician told RIA Novosti that the Ukrainian armed forces have enough soldiers to try to break the front line along the Zaporizhzhia direction towards the Sea of Azov.

“We are waiting for them at any moment,” Rogov stated, adding that Russian intelligence is receiving data on the supply of new armored vehicles for Ukrainian troops, including Western ones.

The official said the countries supplying this equipment, led by the United States, are putting pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch an offensive to prove the effectiveness of Western military aid.

Rogov added that they want quick results and need military operations with many victims.
