In Russia, shelling and other attacks continue in the western provinces bordering Ukraine, and drone attacks on fuel facilities in various regions are believed to be occurring one after another.

On the other hand, Ukrainian President Zelensky has hinted that the upcoming reversal offensive will be carried out on many fronts, and the movement of the Ukrainian military is in focus.

In the Belgorod Oblast in western Russia, which borders Ukraine, shelling and other attacks have continued since the 1st of this month, and the local governor announced on SNS on the 3rd that two new people were killed and seven people have been killed so far.

Two organizations claiming to be volunteers, such as Russians who oppose Putin's regime, have expressed their involvement, but the Ukrainian government has denied direct involvement.

In addition, in Russia, it seems that drones have been attacking fuel facilities in various places near the border with Ukraine one after another, and there is a view that the Ukrainian army is proceeding with a preparatory operation called "formation operation" to attack logistical support bases on the Russian side in preparation for a large-scale reversal offensive.

The British Ministry of Defense has pointed out that the Russian military is facing a dilemma of whether to strengthen its own border area or the occupied territory of Ukraine, and according to an analysis released on the 2rd, the Russian army has no choice but to deploy regular troops to the front line in Bahumt instead of the private military company Wagener, which announced its withdrawal in the fierce battle zone of Bakhmut in the east. It said it could affect the operations of the entire military.

Under these circumstances, Ukrainian President Zelensky said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, a leading American newspaper, that "they may go in completely different directions and go in different directions, but we are going to do it, and we are ready," suggesting that the reversal offensive will be carried out on many fronts. The movement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is in focus.
