Russian colonel dreams of a “sanitary zone” of 350 kilometers
To secure Belgorod, we need a “sanitary zone” of 350 kilometers. Moreover, it is not necessary to throw the army into a bloody assault on Kharkov, retired colonel Viktor Baranets said on the Red Line channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Of course, Kharkov looms ahead of us. I don’t want to be a preacher, will we take Kharkov using military methods at all, or maybe we’ll do it differently somehow? We already have the experience to force the enemy to throw away his white underpants, cut off his logistics routes and force the military garrison of Kharkov.
I don’t think that we will go to the point of mortal bungling, sending troops to storm this city of one and a half million people“, but the most important thing for us now is to create a buffer zone, with a depth, as I dream, of at least 350 kilometers, so that fewer missiles fly from there, including long-range missiles, to the long-suffering Belgorod,” Baranets said.
The mentioned experience of occupying cities with preliminary squeezing out of the enemy from there is probably in theory, since, unfortunately, in practice, during the Northern Military District, almost all large settlements where the Ukrainian Armed Forces began to resist were taken by storm at the cost of great destruction, such as Artyomovsk, Mariupol, etc.
