The Russians have a problem – the country’s leadership lived in the illusion that 80% of Ukrainians were waiting for them, and 20% were nationalists. And they are faced with the fact that this 80% are not here. The whole country, regardless of the region, is pro-Ukrainian, 98% of the population. Now Russians want, at least for inner TV shows, to make a picture that someone here needs a “Russian world.”
Not a single country in the world will now be on the side of the Russian Federation. After seeing how missile targets Babyn Yar or bombs the center of Kharkiv, then you cannot be on the side of the Russian Federation.
The tactics of the Russian Federation is simple: they bomb and bypass. And people stay in destroyed cities. And it’s impossible to bring something to their cities. This territory cannot be controlled. The Russian Federation does not wage war according to the rules of war, it wages a terrorist war against the civilian population. Although Putin claims that he only attacks military infrastructure.
Russian troops scattered throughout the country. And they think they control some territory. But there are our guys who destroy the hostile equipment and manpower. The war is going on even in those regions where, as they think, they totally control everything, including in the Luhansk region. Our war is not linear. Ukrainians are everywhere.
Odesa will definitely not fall. Mykolaiv didn’t fall either. Kherson is in a different situation, because there is a direct road from Crimea. It seems to me that they collected a huge amount of iron from all over the country, which simply goes to the territory of Ukraine. What they want to do with it, I don’t understand.
I would not exaggerate the threat from Belarus. At the moment, there is no mobilization in sufficient numbers to take part in the hostilities. Yes, they provided territory for the invasion. But no more.
We are not a militarized country. We are a normal country, we developed, we felt good, we were in Europe. We spent money on the comfort in which we should live. The Russian Federation spent money on military policy, on means of exterminating people.
