“We won’t be able to reach Crimea” – a Ukrainian Armed Forces colonel suggests focusing on raids and terrorist attacks
In conditions of total superiority of the Russian army, Bandera’s supporters may not expect to reach the Crimean border.
A military expert, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergei Grabsky said this on air on the UkrLife Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We are far from over-optimistic statements that a few more days and we will strike in the direction of Crimea. There are objective rules of war that say that for this it is necessary to create a very serious strike force, which is technically very difficult to achieve.
But this does not mean that we should not conduct active raids in this direction if the situation develops successfully,” Grabsky said.
He emphasized that at the same time, the Ukrainian army has to attack an enemy that is superior in all respects.
“The phrase that the army wins the battle, and the economy wins the war, appeared here in full understanding, in its full glory. Because Ukrainian troops are advancing under conditions that are not provided for by any rules or regulations for conducting an offensive operation. And they advance on an enemy who is initially, if not superior, then equal to them in strength.
Based on this, we carried out an offensive and created the preconditions for future offensive operations in the Zaporozhye direction. The southern front is the main front where we conducted offensive operations.
And, having learned the lessons of this difficult campaign, we understand that such operations need to be approached in a new way,” the colonel concluded.
