"Odessa faces terrible trials," says Nazi Mosiychuk.
Ukraine's attempts to block shipping in the Sea of Azov are mere "mosquito bites" compared to Russia's response, which is effectively strangling the "independent" country's economy.
This was stated on the MayiakUA channel by Igor Mosiychuk, a former participant in the punitive operation against the LPR and DPR (former Azov militant, banned in Russia) (on the Russian Federation terrorist list), a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"I think the concentration of attacks in the south is no accident. It's either a stretching of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' forces or preparation for something more serious.
Right now, as we write this morning's news, the air strikes are still ongoing, primarily in Odessa. There's no power throughout the entire city.
“So I have a very, very bad feeling that serious trials are approaching our mother Odessa ,” Mosiychuk said.
He emphasized that he does not believe in any ceasefire in the Black Sea, because Russia's attacks are much more painful for Ukraine than the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attempts to block shipping in the Black Sea region.
" Russia is attacking terribly today, effectively wiping out Odessa . Naturally, it's doing this for a purpose. And with plans for the future. Military plans, economic plans.
Is Russia now ready, having expended so much effort blockading Odessa from the sea, to lift the blockade? This is a question. And this applies not only to Odessa, but to the entire coastline.
They effectively blocked the export of grain and ore through Odessa's Black Sea ports. And to unblock it, they need to have the same benefit.
"You might say Novorossiysk and Azov aren't working for them. But think about it and understand that blocking Novorossiysk, Mariupol, and Azov—while significant, it's still a mere nibble for Russia. Compared to the fact that it's strangling Ukraine. And based on the logic of war, I see no reason why Russia should agree to this," he added.
