Crimea and Donbass will be returned by military means if negotiations fail/Channel 24 Collage
Ukrainian defenders can take Crimea and Donbass militarily if negotiations with Russia fail. According to Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the President's Office, such a possibility exists.
Arestovich stated this on the air of the Feigin LIVE YouTube channel, Channel 24 reports. He noted that at the same time, the Russians are trying to prevent the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine.
There is a possibility that Crimea and Donbas will be returned by military means
Arestovich said that Russia had sent its emissaries to Europe, who were stubbornly practicing the “Italian plan.” Their main thesis is that this war will continue for a long time, and the president of the aggressor country, Vladimir Putin, will not just leave everything, so Kyiv needs to be convinced to make territorial concessions so that there are no casualties. Note that a similar statement was also recently made by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who had been friends with Putin for many years.
The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office stressed that it is clear that the Kiev leadership immediately reacted to this. In addition, President Volodymyr Zelensky also expressed his political position. In particular, the head of state noted that Ukraine is ready for peace negotiations with Russia.
If the negotiations fail or do not pass, we will take Crimea and Donbass by military means. But he said that it would require many sacrifices among Ukrainians,” Arestovich added.
According to him, when the president outlines his political position, it is comprehensively prepared by the Intelligence Union of Ukraine, partners, and the like. The head of state understands the pace and prospects of these actions and so on. Arestovich noted that if Zelensky says this, then he understands that there is such a possibility.
Russia wants to prevent the supply of Western weapons
Arestovich noted that the infidels understand one thing that is unpleasant for them – the Ukrainian army within a month and a half, maximum two, will reach the peak of its combat capability at the expense of Western weapons.
“We are doing well with the personnel, for mobilization I don't have to worry. From what I see, there will probably be subpoenas for representatives of certain specialties. But I don't think there will be mass (mobilization – 24 channels). And there is enough. I have the impression that there is enough. The President named the figure – 700 thousand people are now in service. Well, but these are all defense forces, including the police, border guards, the SBU, etc., “added the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office.
The aggressors gave the following assessment of the situation at the front – they are not sure that the Russian army will have time to re-mobilize due to conscripts and reservists and reach the peak of its combat capability before the moment when the Ukrainian army is on alert.
“So , what is their task?
Advisor to the head of the OP p summed up that the task of the invaders is to slow down the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian defenders.
