Despite the numerous statements by the Russian leadership that the war in Ukraine is going “according to plan”, they can hardly plan much in advance. And the Ukrainian troops, by their actions, significantly reduce the possibility of maneuvers for the occupiers.
Russia does not abandon its plan to create the USSR-2. And without Ukraine, it is practically impossible to realize this dream of Putin. Therefore, the capture of Ukraine – and further among the goals of the Russians. Adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs Vadim Denisenko noted this during the United News telethon, Channel 24 reports.
But for now, the invaders will be disappointed. They were defeated in the battles for Kyiv. They never managed to capture Kharkov and Odessa. And even Mariupol, on the occupation of which they threw a lot of effort, continues to resist.
Consequently, they decided to revise their plans somewhat after these failures. And focus on the Donbass. This is why the region is being “adjusted” to Russian standards.
Another attempt at the active phase of hostilities
But Russia is not going to give up the active phase of the war against Ukraine. And it is preparing to make the next active phase of hostilities. To do this, military equipment is pulled up to the front line.
At present, equipment is concentrated in the Crimean region. We understand that 19 battalion tactical groups are located in the Kharkiv region. And after they fizzle out, and they fizzle out, they won't be able to do anything, then Putin will have two options. Or conditionally freeze the conflict and talk about any negotiation processes. Or declare direct mobilization in Russia,” said Vadim Denisenko.
According to him, the second option is not very suitable for the Kremlin. They are afraid to announce mobilization there. The reason is that although the Russians are in favor of a war against Ukraine, the mobilization itself scares them.
“As of today, he hopes that he will make another breakthrough, and then he will look,” he assessed the plans Putin Vadim Denisenko.
Putin is like a hunted animal
There is less and less confidence in the world that Putin and his supporters will be able to win the war against Ukraine. But they do not have the opportunity to get out of this war. And this gives rise to a new fear, voiced by US President Joe Biden. After all, the Russian dictator is a man who tries to calculate everything in advance. But he was wrong in the war against Ukraine. And now he can resort to rash steps.
