The most difficult times are coming for Ukraine
From March to November next year, Russia will intensify military operations as much as possible in order to occupy all possible territories.
Political scientist Ruslan Bortnik announced this on the Novosti.LIVE internet channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Putin has elections in March. Immediately after the elections, a new expanded mobilization can be carried out. Resources for expanded mobilization in Russia, unlike last fall, have already been accumulated. Russia can no longer mobilize not 300 thousand people, as last time, but 500-700 thousand people. The new political mandate will allow this to be done without a major crisis. There are unlikely to be protests,” the expert said.
“At the same time, elections are in full swing in the United States. There are elections in the US in November, and the window between March and November will be the most critical for us in this war. Comparable only to February-March 2022, the first phase of the offensive. During this period, Russia will try to storm us as much as possible, to seize as much as possible what it can in Ukraine, in order to speak with the new US administration from a position of strength.
In order to influence the course of the American elections first, and then speak from a position of strength, because they are going to defeat us. Moreover, Russian history creates the illusion that the third year of the war is traditionally a turning point and successful for them,” Bortnik said.
Ukraine is facing its hardest times yet.
