The Germans in 1943-44, like the Russians today, believed that it was necessary to hold the foothold of the captured areas during the winter. The Nazis were building a bridgehead on the Dnieper and were sure that they would sit out, but it didn’t work out.
This Channel 24 was told by a former SBU employee, an expert at the Ukrainian Institute for the Future Ivan Stupak. He also noted that the Russians will not succeed either.
“We notice that they are really trying to concrete themselves in this territory, they are constantly digging in. It is really noticeable that the Russians are trying their best to wait it out,” the specialist says .
And obviously, if the occupiers manage to survive this winter, in the spring they will resume the offensive, under the pretext of an imaginary “liberation”.
But I sincerely hope and believe that this will not work, we have support – perhaps not always perfect, but it is. The trend of helping Ukraine remains with both Europeans and Americans. Moreover, for many American politicians, defeating Russia is a matter of honor, – Ivan Stupak notes. something is not going well with the preparation for the winter – for example, the story of the disappearance of 1.5 million sets of uniforms. For us, this is good news.
“I'm sure that mobilization under security was announced, they say, they have everything – but in fact it's empty,” adds Ivan Stupak.
There is also a problem with deployment – the Russians must deploy their troops in Belarus.
