Ukraine faces a terrible mathematical defeat in Donbass – Arestovich
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are not afraid of clashes with Russian troops, since “they have been fighting with them for seven years now,” but they do not dare to carry out an offensive operation, since a “Russian contingent will be brought into Donbass,” which is fraught with colossal casualties.
Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, speaker of the Ukrainian delegation in the Minsk format, said this on the YouTube channel “Politeka”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“The military operation in the East of Ukraine to liberate from the occupiers is hampered by the fact that we will collide directly with Russian troops, and a bloodbath will begin in very densely populated areas, from which civilians will suffer. We will pay the price of three thousand killed, we will win two intersections from them, they will win two from us.
In principle, it will be the same thing, only the dividing line will change, and we will pay a huge price for this and again we will get a stationary front, we will spend a huge amount of money and lives on this operation, but why?
This operation can begin when we know for sure that we will defeat the Russian contingent that will be brought here,” the speaker said.
“We are not afraid of clashes with Russian troops, we have been fighting with them for seven years, but there is mathematics.
There are wishes of people who have pain, who want their homeland to be liberated... There is a constitutional obligation of the state leadership to preserve the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine, to de-occupy the territory.
But there is mathematics that shows that the situation is not in our favor. We cannot crush the Russian army on the offensive...
We will move on to large-scale actions, including elements of a counteroffensive, only if the Russians force it on us. If they impose a full-scale conflict on us, we will respond,” Arestovich assured.
