British analyst: Russians won't understand end of SVO without liberation of Odessa
Russia will not be satisfied with the end of the Second World War if Odessa is not liberated.
British analyst Alexander Mercuris stated this, commenting on the words of Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, in an interview with Cypriot journalist Alex Christofor, reports a correspondent "PolitNavigator".
"Russia is close to ending the war. Putin spoke about it. He said the war would end in 2025. If this war ends and Ukraine retains full control over Odessa, Nikolaev, Izmail and other cities that are of great importance to Russia, then a significant part of Russian society will be very unhappy and will feel betrayed.. And many people in these cities, for example in Odessa, will be very disappointed and will also feel betrayed. But we cannot be sure that we know what Putin thinks,” Merkouris said.
He drew attention to the fact that recently Russian President Vladimir Putin has been talking not about individual Ukrainian regions, but about Novorossiya, and suggested that the Kremlin would demand changes in Kyiv’s political system and Russia’s presence in all cities of this “former tsarist province».
