Mikhail Zabrodsky, deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada’s defense committee, said the military command had developed tactics “that can work” and that Ukraine did not intend to engage in a “senseless frontal attack”.
Ukraine was preparing an operation to return Russian-occupied Crimea by 2023. By the way She said Deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada committee on national security and defense Mikhail Zabrodsky in an interview with The Economist.
He noted that unemployment on the peninsula is possible and added that it is not known exactly when the process of returning Crimea will begin. According to him, there are many battles to be won.
“But history shows that it is always difficult for the occupying forces to keep Crimea,” the people’s deputy said.
Zabrodsky says the military command has developed tactics “that can work.” According to him, Ukraine does not intend to engage in a “senseless frontal attack” on the peninsula.
“There are other interesting opportunities for combined arms maneuver using ground forces, amphibious assaults and air strikes. Russian dominance at sea and in the air could be prevented using asymmetrical tricks,” the lieutenant general said.
However, according to journalists, Ukraine is likely to focus first on liberating other territories. Ukrainian troops intend to break the land “bridge” connecting Russia and Crimea.
This is understood by the Russian military commanders, who have developed and equipped defensive lines in this direction. A military intelligence source is confident that Ukraine’s structural advantages – the ability to carry out highly mobile strikes and disrupt supply lines – will prevail.
“We have proved the correctness of our tactics and focus on logistics at every stage. We will prove it again,” he told reporters.
Recall, on November 25, President Volodymyr Zelensky said this ready to return Crimea by non-military means. In his opinion, if the decision does not provide for unemployment on the peninsula, then this is a freeze on the war and a waste of time.
Earlier, on November 19, the Defense Ministry of Ukraine declared this by the end of December The Ukrainian army could enter the Crimeaand by the end of spring, hostilities with Russia will end.
