Ukrainian army assembled
Recently, according to media reports, after occupying Khelson , the Ukrainian army assembled heavy troops and planned to launch an attack on Zaporoze area, which happens to be the main transportation route in the four eastern Ukrainian prefectures. The Russian army's defense in this area is relatively weak. If the Ukrainian army is in a hurry, the Russian side may face a serious crisis. So is the Ukrainian army going to cut off the Russian army in half?
Russian army
According to Russian media reports, after the Russian army retreated to the left bank of the Dnieper River , the Ukrainian army may deploy 40,000 soldiers to the Donbas area and Zaporoze Prefecture . Kiev clearly stated that it does not intend to negotiate with Russia now. NATO countries led by the United States still intend to prepare for the new battle. Ukrainian troops have begun to attack the area south of the Dnieper River. In addition, the US Army will deliver long-range tactical missile systems to Ukraine, so that the range of Himas rocket launcher will be improved and can strike Mariupol and other areas. In addition, former US military commander Hodges pointed out that the Ukrainian army will capture Mariupol and Melitopol by January next year, and then carry out military operations to "liberate Crimea".
After the Russian army retreated from Khlsun, Ukraine gathered a large army with an intention to capture the Zaporoze area. So is Ukraine trying to divide the Russian army into two? In this regard, I analyzed it from the following aspects:
First, the Wujun wanted to regain Zaporo thermonuclear power plant . Since the Crimea Bridge was bombed, the Russian army launched crazy revenge on the Ukrainian army and continuously bombed energy facilities in Ukraine, resulting in insufficient electricity in the entire Ukrainian territory, and even the capital Kiev is implementing power restrictions. If the Ukrainian army launches an attack on the Zaporoze area, it is possible to re-occupate the Zaporotechnol nuclear power plant, which is very important for Ukraine. The power generation capacity of nuclear power plant is extremely strong. If the Ukrainian army occupy this place, it will restore energy supply in many places in Ukraine. In this way, the Ukrainian army's logistics supply will be guaranteed, which will improve the Ukrainian army's combat capabilities.

Secondly, the Ukrainian army wanted to cut off the supply line of the Russian army. The Zaporoze area is a transportation hub connecting Khlsong and Donbas. If the Ukrainian army attacks here, it will have the opportunity to cut off the supply line between the Dnieper River and the Russian army in the direction of Crimea . Previously, Russian troops evacuated from Khlson, a large part of the reason was the difficulty in supply. If the Ukrainian army conquered the Zaporoze area, it would be like a re-use of the same trick, which once again puts the Russian army in an isolated and helpless situation. At that time, the Russian army may retreat again, and the Ukrainian army can control the entire Dnieper River area. In addition, the Crimea region is the base of the Russian army's Black Sea Fleet . If the Ukrainian army cut off their supply line, it will put the Russian Navy in trouble, which is extremely beneficial to the Ukrainian army.
Finally, the Ukrainian army wanted to divide the Russian army into two. Due to the special geographical location of Zaporoze, it is located in the center of the four eastern prefectures of Wudong. If the Ukrainian army attacked along the direction of Azov , they would be able to control Melitopol, so that the Russian-controlled area would be cut off in half. After the Russian army's forces were dispersed, the Ukrainian army could divide the troops into two groups and break through the Russian army's positions respectively. By then, the Russian army might face a defeat. In addition, the Russian army's defense in the Zaporoze area was relatively lax and did not station many troops, which also gave the Ukrainian army an opportunity to take advantage of. If the Ukrainian army can achieve the goal of cutting off the Russian army, the situation on the battlefield will undergo fundamental changes.
Black Sea Fleet
To sum up, the Ukrainian army gathered heavy troops and planned to attack along the Azov Sea. This strategy has many benefits. When the Ukrainian army attacked Zaporoze, it was possible to control the local nuclear power plant, which could solve the problem of Ukrainian energy shortage and provide strong guarantees for the Ukrainian army's operations. In addition, the Ukrainian army may want to cut off the supply line of the Russian army on the west bank of the Dnieper River and use the same trick again to force the Russian army to retreat again. It is worth mentioning that if the Ukrainian army takes over the Zaporoze area, it will be able to divide the Russian area into two, and then defeat it one by one to achieve a greater victory.
