There are several ways to de-occupy Ukrainian territory in the South and East of the country. We are talking about choosing the most optimal option for effectively cutting off the enemy's supply routes for personnel, equipment and ammunition.
This was told to Channel 24 by Roman Svitan, a military expert, a colonel in the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, even the successful dismissal of the approaches to the Crimea is possible.
Course not only to Melitopol
Roman Svitan explained that one of the simplest solutions is to terminate the land corridor. This applies to the Melitopol direction, which is the shortest.
“The Russians predict it. They have now filled this distance of 80 kilometers with a very large number of troops, carried out certain defensive measures, which, in principle, can be cut. And with the help of aviation, you can get there,” he said.
In his opinion, this is not the only direction that the Armed Forces of Ukraine can use. The exit from Gulyai-Polye to Chernigovka and Berdyansk is quite advantageous.
The fact is that the exit itself is not a solution to the issue, but getting into a big problem, – the military expert emphasized.
According to him, when entering the Azov coast, the Ukrainian defenders will have to hold the flank, and this can be done optimally just in the Berdyansk region.
In addition, there is a railway and a flat surface along it, that is, the weather will not greatly affect the likely plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Mariupol
Roman Svitan said that another option for the movement of Ukrainian troops to de-occupy Ukrainian territories could be considered.
Perhaps the best of these two is the exit from Ugledar directly to Mariupol and a little to the west to Mangush,” he noted.
According to the military expert, this path is rather difficult and actually wedged into the front line.
Roman Svitan explained that in 2014-2015 the Armed Forces of Ukraine had a plan to leave Vuhledar towards Yelenovka and immediately to Novoazovsk beyond Mariupol.
“This is also a very good exit plan. It will also be considered,” he said.
The military expert focused on the fact that a little to the east of Telmanovo there is a road to the South.
It is possible to directly draw a line from Ugledar to Novoazovsk. Many issues are being resolved: Mariupol is cut off from Russian supplies,” he said.
Svitan stressed that this is also one of the best options.
Cutting off the Crimea
The military expert said that these are just three main plans for cutting off the Russians from supplies. There are also others, the performance of which depends on the forces and means.
“There is another good and very interesting way to cross the Dnieper in the area of Nova Kakhovka and immediately to the Crimea. A good road and a good direction,” he said.
According to him, such a path will open up the possibility of making an exit to Armyansk, further west to the Perekop Isthmus. Also in this way, you can get fire control over two more isthmuses – Chongar and Arabat arrow.
An interesting option is to cut off the Crimea. And here we will solve a lot of issues related to the problem of Kherson, – he stressed.
In his opinion, in the event of the deployment of such events, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will only need to maintain an additional 70 kilometers of the front, and not 160 kilometers, if to Melitopol.
Also, Roman Svitan does not exclude the possibility of global actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the event of an exit from Svatovoe or Kreminnaya in the direction of Shchastia, Luhansk and Russian Taganrog.
“Then the entire Russian grouping that entered Ukraine is cut off. But for this, about three times more funds are needed, which are required towards the Azov coast in the Melitopol region,” the military expert noted.
According to him, we have a whole range of areas. However, the main choice is for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny. He probably keeps the intrigue.
What awaits Russia after the war
- Russian opposition leader Igor Yakovenko is convinced that the key to the end of the Putin regime will be the complete defeat of the invaders on the battlefield. There will be no revolution in Russia, instead of it there may be a so-called turmoil. If the surviving military return from the front with weapons in their hands, they will become a gang and within Russia they will share power and territory.
- The President of France said that Russia does not need to be defeated. The West fears and thinks about how to integrate Russians into the civilized world after the war. Of great importance is who in Russia after the war will control weapons, including nuclear weapons.
- The newly elected President of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, noted that after the victory of Ukraine, the situation in Russia will be unstable for a long time. He also does not believe that the leadership of the aggressor country will ever establish normal relations with the world.
