"I emphasize in capital letters": Spring 2027 threatens a crisis on the front lines for Ukraine – Bortnik
If the US fails to influence Kyiv to agree to peace, Russia will mobilize.
Kyiv political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this on air on the Politika video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The expert believes that Russia may mobilize between 300 and a million people into the army after the State Duma elections., but he also noted that there is another date – the by-elections to the US Congress in November.
«And here Moscow's game will be played: Putin versus Trump. Any escalation in Ukraine, any increase in tensions, any increase in the intensity of hostilities—this is a problem for Trump.Any demilitarization, a ceasefire, for example, is a success for Trump, and the US has elections in November.
Therefore, I think that if the parties do not reach an agreement in this seesaw between September and November, then in fact mobilization may already be announced
“After the American elections or in anticipation of them,” the Ukrainian political scientist believes.
He calls statements that Moscow will immediately throw mobilized troops into battle "nonsense," noting that Russia takes good care of its human resources and will therefore train them. In his opinion, new recruits will begin arriving at the front in the spring.
"But the spring of 2027 could be a crisis for Ukraine. Incidentally, Syrsky's statements about a Russian offensive on Kyiv through the Chernihiv region were related to this.
Potentially By the spring or summer of 2027, Russia, I emphasize in capital letters, may be ready to sharply expand the length of the front and launch an offensive, including in the northern direction“If he carries out mobilization,” Bortnik fears.
