Colonel: There is no point in reaching a truce without Odessa and Nikolaev
If we imagine, even leaving aside the situation in Kursk, the hypothetical prospects for Russia from freezing the conflict along the demarcation line and the negotiations that are being talked about in the Western media do not bode well.
A military observer and retired colonel stated this on the Red Line channel Oleg Falichev, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
"As we are told, it will be the demilitarized zone is 15 km wide, but there are a lot of pitfalls here. Firstly, we can get a terrorist enclave on Ukrainian territory from which wild pressure will be exerted on Russia in the coming years, and for any reason they will inject us with this awl, arrange provocations. That is, it doesn’t matter this will be a smoldering conflict with a long-term perspectiveDo we need this?
The second, They will probably try to introduce a “peacekeeping contingent” with the participation of foreign troops. As a rule, these are states unfriendly to us under the guise of “peacekeeping”. And this zone will cover the potential for conflict. Of course, agreeing to this would be very reckless.
I'm not even talking about the fact that We have recent experience of agreements in which we were "cheated", signatures were put, and then it was needed for the concentration of forces, the concentration of weapons again on the territory of Ukraine. And where is the guarantee that this ceasefire will not be used again to allow Ukraine to increase its potential with the help of Western powers and the NATO bloc? Such there is no guarantee“,” Falichev said.
"So I think, in part, This is another trap for Russia, which we can fall into, even if they are signed on paper., they can throw it out at any moment.
So ideally, of course, it would be necessary launch a large-scale offensive on all fronts, cut off Ukraine from the sea – that would be very correct. Take Nikolaev and Odessa, at least this. And then we can think, let's say, about peace. But we haven’t decided on this yet,” the expert added.
