"The Russians are notorious for layered defense: there's the minefields, there's the booby traps, there are fall back positions with snipers," Erik said."I still think there's a lot of danger down there...I think they're gonna make the Ukrainians pay."
," added Voyger, now a non-resident senior fellow at Center for European Analysis and professor at American University of Kyiv., with Moscow's forces entrenched on the left side within artillery range of Kherson. A soldier waves from an armored personnel carrier heading to the front lines on October 4, 2022 outside of Kramatorsk, Ukraine."That's the greatest danger; that the Russians will position the artillery on the left bank—rocket artillery or whatever they have—and they will pound the city," Voyager said."They're going to use scorched earth tactics, just to try to obliterate the city as much as they can.
Satellite images show the Russians have already constructed fortifications along the left bank."In some ways, it will be suicidal to go against those," Voyger said.. The dictator will be looking for ways to retaliate as Kyiv troops seize territory the Kremlin considers Russian.
