Arestovich about a possible resumption of offensives/Collage of Channel 24
Russians still have reserves. They conducted a huge campaign in order to accumulate and have time to collect a powerful potential before the Western Lend-Lease will work.
Aleksey Arestovich, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President, said this for Channel 24. He believes that the Russians have managed to activate their reserves.
“Many people are mobilizing from depressed Russian regions, not from developed ones. Propaganda and the socio-economic factor influence there. People are less critical of everything, therefore, there is an army and they will attack,” Arestovich said.
The condition for resuming the offensive
The adviser noted that the Sumy and Chernihiv regions are being shelled. According to him, there is a possibility of a new attempt by the Russian offensive in the North.
Danger of involvement of Belarusian troops in the war. However, this is under certain circumstances. If they win in the East and capture the Luhansk region and save forces for further offensive, this will be a powerful argument for the Russians to attract the Belarusians,” Arestovich explained.
May attack Kyiv again
Arestovich believes that Ukraine is waiting for a difficult and very dangerous month. The situation is returning to the pool of danger that existed from mid-March to early April, when it was discussed daily that there was a threat from the Belarusian army.
“There is a possibility. We cannot exclude this from the calculations, there is even a chance that they will go to Kyiv again. The situation is complicated,” he said.
Belarus provides weapons to Russia
There is information that Belarus is helping the Russian occupiers not only as a base from which missile attacks are carried out. Russia receives weapons from her. Arestovich said that the armament of the Belarusian army is very similar to the Russian one. We are talking about Soviet and post-Soviet models.
“The Russians are recruiting new personnel, and they need to be armed with something. Perhaps Lukashenka conceded and began to transfer weapons. There was no such beginning” , – added Arestovich.
