The National Security and Defense Council has commented on whether Russia will launch an assault in Zaporizhzhia.

Russians lack the strength to launch an offensive on the city of Zaporizhzhia. The enemy will employ tactical assault actions in the areas of several settlements. This was reported on Tuesday, November 12, by Andrey Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council.   He explained that it is beneficial for the Russians to spread rumors about upcoming attacks.   "Russians, due to military correspondents, will scale up their own plans to spread panic," he stated.   According to Kovalenko, the invaders are considering the Kurakhove direction in the Donetsk region as part of possible actions in the Zaporizhzhia region.   The Russians are also continuing to shell Zaporizhzhia from the air, the official added.   Earlier, the spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, Vladislav Voloshin, stated that Russian troops might soon begin ground assaults in the south of the Zaporizhzhia region.   In the evening, Russian occupation forces attacked the Zaporizhzhia region with KABs. A series of explosions were heard, and a multi-story building was damaged in one of the settlements.
