According to the expert, even after this, the war may not end.
If the Armed Forces of Ukraine reach the border of 1991, it will mean the complete defeat of the Russian military machine.
As Oleg Zhdanov noted, it is unlikely that Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin will continue his attempts to attack Ukraine after this. At the same time, the expert believes that even in this case the war may not end.
“The exit to the borders in 1991 may mean the end of the hot phase of the war. Next, such an option as in Israel will be possible. This is provided that Putin and his gang still remain in the Kremlin and rule. That is, the exit to the borders in 1991 may not mean the end of this war,” Zhdanov said.
At the same time, he added that one of the tasks of this war is to extract from Russia all the military potential that it can display today.
The war in Ukraine: the Armed Forces are vacating the territories
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have already liberated almost 1,900 settlements, but almost as many Ukrainian cities and villages still remain under occupation, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said:
Hundreds of our cities and villages were simply burned to the ground due to Russian strikes. We have already managed to liberate 1,888 settlements from occupation. But almost as many Ukrainian towns and villages remain under occupation. And this means that now the fate of millions of people is being decided on the battlefield in Ukraine.”
Meanwhile, Russia’s total combat losses in the war against Ukraine as of December 7 reached the mark of 92,740 invaders.
