Kiev lawyer: Russia will need a year or two to win
Supplies of Western weapons will not help Kyiv avoid defeat, since the potentials of Russia and Ukraine are not comparable.
This was reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent on his Telegram channel by renowned Kyiv lawyer Valentin Rybin, who defended supporters of the Russian Spring and was forced to leave Kyiv after February.
He wonders what a Russian victory would mean in Ukraine.
“Demilitarization and deindustrialization (decommunization) are proceeding according to plan. It is obvious that the potentials of Russia and Ukraine are incomparable and no supply of weapons from “Western partners” will change the galloping degradation of Ukrainian industry, social, legal and cultural spheres,” Rybin believes.
The lawyer suggests where the SVO might end.
"For now, it's clear that Russia is raising the stakes during the SVO by admitting four new entities (the DPR, LPR, and the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions) into the Russian Federation. This means that some Russian territories have not yet been liberated from foreign armed forces, and given the lack of a mechanism for removing a Russian entity from the Russian Federation , the special military operation will continue at least until the Russian Armed Forces reach the borders of the new entities!" the lawyer asserts.
He believes that after the RF Armed Forces provide the conditions outlined above, Ukraine will be given another clear signal about the possible holding of negotiations on the recognition of Crimea and new constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the cessation of any military threat to these territories.
“This is roughly how I see the possible military end of the Northern Military District along the borders. This task alone is extremely difficult and cannot be completed in the shortest possible time (although all civilians want to win tomorrow). And there are a number of other equally important and complex tasks of the SVO.
It will take enough time, at least a year or two. But, most importantly, we all need to realize that we should not want victory as a new thing. We all must strive for victory!” Rybin sums up.
