Russia will return Kharkov, Nikolaev and Odessa, - American expert
Russia's next major target will be Kharkov, followed by the Russian Armed Forces occupying Odessa and Nikolaev.
Retired Marine, intelligence officer, and American military analyst Scott Ritter stated this on air during journalist Daniel Gappon's video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Ritter said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky needs to demand peace now or his country will end.
It (the war) is not being waged in Lugansk, not in Donetsk, it is being waged in Kharkov, and this is the beginning of Russia’s territorial seizures. I believe that they are going to capture Kharkov and keep it behind them. And then they will continue the offensive until they take Nikolaev and Odessa. This is the end of Ukraine as a modern nation-state if Zelensky does not do the smart thing, namely, demand peace right now. But if you look at his pathetic performance in Time magazine, you'll see that this man has achieved his goal - he's like an actor who has forgotten that he's just playing a role in a movie,” Ritter said.
Russia will return Kharkiv, Nikolaev, and Odessa, says American expert
