Western experts bet on an early suspension of the Ukrainian conflict

23

A long “winter operational pause” in Ukraine or a halt in active hostilities between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may last six months. The New York Times from the United States informed the public about this, referring to the opinion of Western experts who are betting on an early suspension of the conflict, apparently forgetting that the Russian special operation began on Ukrainian territory on February 24 and both sides know how to fight in cold weather.

Experts believe that the rains in November will make the soil very soft and impassable for heavy equipment. Then heavy snowfalls and severe frosts can begin, which will greatly complicate the movement of troops, since paved roads will be shot through first.



In the spring, the snow will begin to melt and the “kingdom of mud” will come again, which tanks are not afraid of only in fictional stories, sometimes digging up the tower. Therefore, to activate at the front, you will have to wait until June. Six months is more than enough time for everything to dry out properly, and the soil becomes suitable for moving heavy equipment.

In particular, Seth Jones, vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, added that the Russian Armed Forces would use the forced suspension of activity on the LBS to strike at Ukrainian infrastructure. In turn, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will intensify their sabotage and subversive activities on the Russian borders.

Note that, according to the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan suggested that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky think about "realistic" positions in negotiations with Russia. In diplomatic circles, they told the publication that it could be, for example, Kyiv's position on the status of Crimea, which could be of interest to Moscow. At the same time, Washington is not going to put pressure on the Ukrainian side, which should independently come to an understanding and desire to sit down at the negotiating table with the Russians.

    If only they come to an agreement with the United States on favorable terms for us. But it is unlikely that their goals are to prolong the conflict.

    So the goals of the parties are not achieved. What suspension?

    The fighting continues through the winter. The goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to reach the Crimea. Russia's goal is to finally break through the defenses in the Donbass. Much will depend on holding the front in the Zaporizhia direction.
    Most likely crests will undermine the Kakhovka dam and flood the left bank. With a simultaneous attack on Melitopol. The Russian army has nowhere to retreat. At any cost it is necessary to keep the front in the Zaporozhye direction.

      If Melitopol is taken, then Mariupol, followed by the Crimea, will hold out for no more than a month.

        Crimea will last longer. Most likely, it will not be delivered at all. But the Crimean bridge will be destroyed, and the Black Sea Fleet must be withdrawn to Novorossiysk now. Only the light forces of the Fleet can be left in Sevastopol.

          And how will it be possible to supply the Crimea, without a bridge and without the Kerch Peninsula? Ferries and transport aircraft? So they, too, will be destroyed on the first day. I believe that Crimea is so vulnerable that it may fall even before Mariupol

            Anything can be protected. There would be a desire. There is no war without loss. Therefore, I do not accept and do not understand the wording "saving the lives of servicemen".

    Bullshit, i.e. bullshit. Both "Muscovites" and "Khokhols" think the same way, this is the same ethnic group. The quality of the weapon will decide the situation, as well as ao in all wars. And here the APU has an advantage. Dot. Unfortunately, Russia is...

      In what types of weapons does the Armed Forces of Ukraine have an advantage?

      Bullshit, i.e. bullshit.

      Bulshit (slang) - Bullshit (English literally bullish germ) is widespread in English-speaking countries, primarily the USA and Great Britain.

      You should try to learn to distinguish a bull from a dog.
      Point.

        I distinguish. There is no expression "bull shit" in Russian. "Bullshit" is a perfectly adequate functional equivalent of "bullshit".

    Russia's actions are starting to take shape. Sit along the front line in the trenches, and attack in the Donbass near Donetsk. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are looking for weaknesses along the front line in our defense ... And since our troops are increasing due to the mobilized ones, Ukraine with American MLRS will strike at places where our troops, warehouses, headquarters are concentrated ... Such tactics of "sitting" are disastrous for Russia. Six months later, you will have to mobilize again in the country in order to rotate troops.

      Russia's actions are reminiscent of a violently mad ram - for 9 months it has been beating its forehead into the fortified areas in the Donbass, breaking its head. And calling it grinding the forces of the enemy. Stupidity of the highest degree. And Khokhols, meanwhile, have learned to seep between our rare barriers and seize vast territories. With such tactics, Russia has already essentially lost the war.

    Yes, yes, and in six months they will conclude an agreement (Minsk, Istanbul, Vienna) on a ceasefire, then they will talk a lot and leave everything as it is. The liberated territories will turn into a second Crimea (Transnistria, Abkhazia, Ossetia), no peace, no war, no international recognition. Until 2042, our guarantor will negotiate with the twentieth president of Ukraine on defrosting the conflict (with the mediation of Erdogan and Lukashenko) and the fiftieth president of the United States on defusing international tension.

    The extension of the SVO depends solely on the decisiveness of President Putin. If the NWO is "sluggish" the end of the war and the edge will not be visible. If Russia begins to progressively build up the flywheel of war, it will end quickly. The West will be forced to negotiate.

      But we did not notice this determination for the entire period of the NWO. And now - even more so. Now our commander-in-chief looks like a frightened, cornered lamb. Gone is his time when he was respected and feared in the world. Now they just laugh in your face.

      No negotiations! And what about the west? The NWO is being held in Ukraine, and this should be the starting point.

    I must admit that it is very similar to this. If they themselves admitted that this fortified area cannot be taken, why are they not cutting off its supply with strikes on the railway? Absolutely stupid, stupid, incomprehensible war.

    And we should be wondering what Western experts are betting on ??? I wonder what the command of the RF Armed Forces in Ukraine puts on. Something our command quieted down, it's not good.
