Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President puts pressure on Zaluzhny and demands to launch a counteroffensive within a month in order to disrupt the referendum, which is being prepared in the South of Ukraine occupied by Russian troops. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, when discussing the counteroffensive on Kherson, gave estimates of losses in the Ukrainian army, up to 20 thousand killed and 50 thousand wounded. At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have never taken a large city by storm, but only defended and have no experience in offensive campaigns, the last attempt ended in heavy losses in June.

Andriy Yermak held a public meeting with Zaluzhny to dispel information in the media about the conflict between the military and politicians on Bankova Street. For the Office of the President, it is now important to extinguish the negativity around the dismissal of the security forces, as well as to organize a counteroffensive on Kherson in order to prove to the West the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which can not only defend itself, but also liberate large cities.
Resident
The head of the President’s Office is already openly declaring that a counter-offensive against Kherson is being prepared, which should demonstrate to the West Ukraine’s readiness to break the situation. Zaluzhny was assigned the task at Bankovaya, so that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would pull all the reserves from Ukraine near Nikolaev and be ready in August to inflict a crushing blow on the Russian army, demonstrating to our partners that we can not only retreat.

source in the OP said that at a meeting in the Office of the President, which took place on July 28, Zaluzhny asked Zelensky to suspend the preparation of the counteroffensive until the Armed Forces of Ukraine had fully formed strike groups for the #Battle_for_Kherson . The commander-in-chief believes that failure will demoralize the Ukrainian military, and losses can be fatal for the army. As an example, Zaluzhny cited the failures of the Russian army in March when trying to take Kyiv, when our artillery destroyed the enemy on the way to the capital using residential buildings.

Zaluzhny was able to convey to the Pentagon the situation about the impossibility of a counteroffensive in the South of Ukraine, for the Armed Forces of Ukraine #Battle_for_Kherson could turn into a total rout if the forces were not calculated correctly.

source in the OP said that Zaluzhny suggested Zelensky apply a new war tactic against Russia, for this they will prepare not a full-scale counteroffensive, but shock groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which will strike across the entire front line. Using the advantage in reconnaissance, drones and Himars MLRS, we will create a separate group, the purpose of which is not to make a breakthrough, but to destroy infrastructure facilities, as much equipment and enemy manpower as possible.
