A few months ago, military experts predicted that the war would last for several years. However, after the spectacular counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region, in all likelihood, the war will end faster. Internal processes in Russia can also lead to this.
About this Channel 24said the Russian opposition journalist and politician Igor Yakovenko. He noted that in Russia it was discussed that Ukraine had nothing to do with the war, because it can be “overcome with one little finger”, and the Russians are fighting with NATO.
According to him, that person , who started all this, and is the main culprit.
And of course he will be punished, it's obvious. It is clear that Putin signed his own death warrant by attacking Ukraine, and this will happen, there is no doubt, but the question is the date, says Yakovenko.
The oppositionist noted that all this happened in the days when the roads took over “manual control of the special operation.” In addition, he “managed it” from the Far East, where the exercises took place.
A Russian journalist said that Putin watched through binoculars how wooden targets were being destroyed during the exercises, and this time Ukrainian troops were liberating settlements . This is a principled story.
He added that military experts predicted that the war would last for several years.
“But Zaluzhny and his colleagues accurately calculated everything (in the counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region – Channel 24). But political components also intervened here,” the oppositionist says. So it is quite possible that the war will end much earlier.
After all, those processes that, on the one hand, go to the front, and on the other, go to Russia itself, they can stop this war in the most unexpected way and earlier than military strategists expected. We will see this many surprises, – says Yakovenko.

By the way, the Russian forces are most likely , cannot reinforce the front line after the Ukrainian conquest of the eastern part of the Kharkiv region. The American Institute for the Study of War believes that the occupiers are actively leaving the area or relocating to other areas.
We add that as a result of the offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine de-occupied more than 4 thousand square kilometers of territory. More than 300 settlements have been fired , where stabilization measures have already been taken.
