In addition to 59,3 thousand military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, nationalist battalions are concentrated near the borders of Donbass, which “do not obey the country’s leadership and local command and act as they see fit.”
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced this today while speaking at the Security Council, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Hence the emergence of reconnaissance groups that break through in different places and carry out various terrorist attacks. In many ways, they control the situation in the cities and regions of Ukraine. I mean extremely radical calls for Donetsk, Lugansk, Crimea and our country,” Shoigu said.
In general, he believes that Ukraine is preparing for the forceful takeover of Donbass. This is evidenced by a change in the locations of parts and radio frequencies. Thus, heavy equipment is returning to the forefront: Tochka U launchers, 345 tanks, 2145 armored combat vehicles, 820 artillery pieces, 160 multiple launch rocket systems, including Smerch.
On February 19-20, 107 shellings were carried out, of which more than 70 were carried out with heavy weapons of 120 mm guns.
“In Donetsk, 90% of the population actually lacks water. In Lugansk, two-thirds of the city lacks gas. In fact, all people living in the contact zone were forced to evacuate. Those who are forced to stay there suffer. Just today a miner died at a bus stop. During the night alone, there were more than 40 shellings on all directions against pre-planned targets. This is not spontaneous, but targeted fire. They understand where they are hitting,” Shoigu said.
Ukrainian lawyer Tatyana Montyan believes that Ukraine is on the verge of a big war.
“Recognition, apparently, will be within the administrative boundaries of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. That is, without war and inflicting a devastating defeat on the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the decision will not be implemented.
Now it's up to the USA. I fully admit that in the near future a general mobilization will be announced, and hundreds of thousands of former ATO soldiers, and, possibly, ordinary civilians, will be put under arms. I’m not sure that the West will give Russia a quick and victorious war. Especially if the issue of access to administrative borders is delayed for some time.
The remaining Ukraine, most likely, will face a second wave of hunting for all the accomplices of the “Russian world” and other vatniki who are still here. After all, the pan-heads and Nazis who have once again squandered the territory of Ukraine will need some kind of victory to counterbalance the shameful defeat on the battlefield. So we only dream of peace. There will be a big storm before it,” predicts Montyan.
