The war in Ukraine is included in the final phase, during which there is a counterattack and the liberation of the occupied territories. This statement was made by the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak.
“We are now entering the final phase, the question – how much time it will occupy. It can drag out a little, because the Russians, with all loud statements, concentrated the remnants of their resources and want to go into the so -called positional war. They want to dug in the so -called positional war. certain parts of the territory, as they did in 2015, ”UNIAN quotes Podolyaka.
Podolyak noted that this phase will be tough and bloody for Ukraine, “we will lose our people,” but it will “have to live in any case,” while he excluded any territorial concessions of the Russian Federation.
According to Podolyak, the intentions of the Russian Federation to transfer the war into a protracted phase are extremely disadvantageous to Ukraine, because it needs to release all the occupied territories, including the Donbass.
“Ukraine needs to release all our areas, including Donetsk and Lugansk. Ukraine needs to expel all these” strange guys “away. We gave it to the Kherson region … We will temporarily finish the war. What will the Russians do in two years? They will want to pick up another Dnipropetrovsk region, Zaporizhzhya? It is obvious … Tomorrow they will come to take the Poltava region, Odessa, Nikolaev, we will gradually kill us, ”he said.
