Ukrainian intelligence is analyzing all scenarios for the development of the situation in Donbass. She notes that the likelihood of a large-scale escalation from Russia exists.
This was announced by Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov during questions to the government in the Verkhovna Rada. According to him, the most likely time of readiness for escalation will be the end of January 2022.
& # 8212; Please note: escalation is a likely scenario, but not necessary. Our task is to make it impossible. The better we work on our own and with our partners, the less the threat will be. Ukraine is most interested in the political and diplomatic scenario of the settlement. There can be no violent provocations on our part, & # 8212; he added.
According to Aleksey Reznikov, the way of appeasing the aggressor is not being considered, if necessary, Ukraine will fight back.
On the eve, the Ministry of Defense said that Ukraine should be in constant alert, since since 2014 Russian troops have been constantly moving along the border, albeit with varying intensity.
According to Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar, Russian troops are constantly concentrating and moving along the border.
Therefore, the Ministry of Defense believes that the Ukrainian troops should be on constant alert to fight back if necessary.
