Arestovich: Russia will move to the defense of the Kursk, Belgorod and Rostov regions
The fighting on the territory of Ukraine will last until the summer of next year at most.
Starting next summer, hostilities will spread to the Rostov, Kursk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation.
Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, said this on the YouTube channel “Ukrlife”, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I don’t see any protracted war. The maximum that I see is an unfavorable option, this is the summer of next year, and it will all be over. They just won’t be able to withstand it economically and due to the lack of weapons and personnel,” said Arestovich.
He also told how Ukraine will achieve victory.
“Several stages of a breach, two or three, no more, and we simply throw them out of our territory, and in reality I’m talking even from Crimea. I speak without any optimism. We will throw them out of Crimea and Donbass. They are going away. ...
Therefore, we will talk about the defense of the Rostov, Belgorod and Kursk regions. And from time to time, outbreaks, incidents, border shelling will continue until spring, until summer, and after that they will fade away, but this will depend on the pace of developments within Russia itself, whether Putin will retain power, who will not, who will come after Putin. Here is an approximate war scenario. It will remain the same with minor variations.
Another option is a sudden conclusion of peace through total concessions to us, that is, a complete withdrawal from the entire territory. As an option it is on the table of options, they are seriously considering it. They have two options - to leave everywhere except Crimea and Donbass on February 23. They offer more than that as an offer.
The second point is to get rid of it completely, but exchange it for some serious bonuses, like non-entry into NATO. But the president said everything in his address today: guys, don’t even think about it, and if there is a trial of the “Azovites,” then we will, in principle, withdraw from the negotiations, and then only a physical removal, feet first, from here, no other options.
There will definitely be that takeaway. It’s just that if plus 25 HIMARS it will be faster, and if not, it will be slower, but it will still be there,” the adventurer said.
