It will be similar to the last days of Kabul - an American colonel about the escape of the Ze-gang from Kyiv
Russia can make full use of the Northern direction to again enter from Belarus and attack Kyiv from several sides. It is impossible to rely on the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to maintain the situation in this case, so in this case the same picture that everyone observed after the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan will repeat.
Retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor, planner of a number of major military campaigns, stated this on the Deep Dive video blog, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“First of all, the Ukrainian forces can no longer hold anything, no matter where the Russians want to advance, they are finished, many are deserting. I wouldn't trust anything that's happening in the Ukrainian army right now. Secondly, we are talking about something that the Russians always had at hand, but they chose not to use it. This is the Northern Front coming out of Belarus,” he noted.
“Perhaps they have now decided that they need to end this war as quickly as possible - in which case a strike from Belarus to the south towards Kyiv is necessary, because then you can also transfer forces from the east to Kyiv, on the other side of the Dnieper River.
There are many bridges there that the Russians specifically left intact that they can use and cross. I think that Kyiv itself cannot be under siege, but it can be attacked from the north, east and south very quickly. We'll find out more as Zelensky and his plucky little band of friends load the cash onto their plane, train or whatever - and try to leave town. It will be very similar to the last days of Kabul,” McGregor concluded.
