“[Такой сценарий] too high. I can even say more. There are corresponding strategic assessments that clearly indicate that, apart from the air phase, there will probably no longer be a ground phase. Taking into account its corresponding effectiveness … The transition to other methods of action and the movement of any ground units is a completely different stage and with completely different goals, “the People’s Deputy said.
According to him, the use of air forces does not require lengthy deployment.
“Provided that all the preparatory measures are carried out, this is not even a matter of days, but of hours. Today a decision can be made, but in the morning it will already begin. And for this it is not necessary to track the movement, draw analytical conclusions,” Zabrodsky said.
In his opinion, the use of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass of the Bayraktar combat drones purchased from Turkey, “in no case will provoke anyone to anything.”
“They [боевики] will not make life difficult for themselves by looking for this formal reason. And from our side, it is a clear demonstration that, in the end, a powerful weapon appeared in the JFO area, which can be used and, among other things, used extremely effectively. They do not need anything to undermine the situation, except for a decree from Moscow, “Zabrodsky said.
Straightaway after the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia launched an armed aggression in eastern Ukraine. The fighting is between the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the one hand and the Russian army and Russian-backed militants who control parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions on the other. Officially, the Russian Federation does not recognize its invasion of Ukraine, despite the facts and evidence presented by Ukraine.
According to the Human Rights Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada Lyudmila Denisova, during the armed conflict in Donbass almost 14 thousand Ukrainians died, of which 4 thousand are civilians. Also as a result of Russian aggression in Donbass killed 158 children.
July 22, 2020 Trilateral Contact Group agreed on a full and comprehensive ceasefire in Donbass from midnight on July 27. At the beginning of 2021, the situation in Donbass worsened. Ukrainian side regularly reports violations by the fighters of the ceasefire regime.
October 26 Ukrainian Armed Forces first used a Turkish strike drone Bayraktar to combat the artillery of militants in the Donbass. Such drones have been on alert since the spring of 2021, reported the commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Naev.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that to use Bayraktar was ordered by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny “with the aim of forcing the enemy to a ceasefire.” “The unmanned aerial vehicle did not cross the line of collision and with a controlled bomb destroyed one cannon with the calculation of the Russian-occupation forces. After that, the shelling of the Ukrainian positions stopped,” the General Staff explained.
The Kremlin believes that Turkey’s supply of Bayraktar drones to Ukraine may “lead to destabilization” on the contact line in the Donbass.
Germany expressed concern an increase in the intensity of hostilities in the Donbas, as well as a report on the use of the APU attack drone Bayraktar. France joined the German position on October 28.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that before using the Bayraktar strike drone in Donbas, the Ukrainian military had completed all the communication procedures with the OSCE. He stressed that Ukraine did not violate anything and applied the right to self-defense… “In the place of partners, I would be primarily concerned that the howitzer, which is prohibited by the Minsk agreements, was located where it should not have been,” the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stressed.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed on October 29 that Ukraine was defending its territory and acted in accordance with the ceasefire agreements.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov November 1 accused Ukraine of trying “to drag Russia into some kind of forceful actions.” Kiev is trying to involve Moscow not in violent actions, but in the diplomatic process, responded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
The American newspaper The Washington Post wrote on October 30 that Russia resumed building up its troops near the border with Ukraine and this is of concern to high-ranking officials in the United States and the European Union. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that did not record an additional transfer of Russian units, weapons and military equipment to the Russian-Ukrainian border.
