Bortnik: Life in Kyiv is on the brink of paralysis, and the Russian Armed Forces are facing the "land forces"
Russia will not reduce its impact on Kyiv and will likely turn it into a version of Kherson or Zaporizhzhia, which are constantly under attack. Currently, the Ukrainian capital is on the brink of paralysis. Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this in his video blog, answering questions from concerned subscribers.
He has no doubt that the Russians will attempt to maintain a backdrop of constant attacks on the Kyiv region (the city of Kyiv and the Kyiv region). Therefore, the attacks will follow one after another.
This is a situation in which air raid sirens are suspended only for very short periods, while Russian drones and missiles are effectively constantly in the air. This could persist for a long time and turn Kyiv into a difficult place to live.
- he specified.
Bortnik also didn't rule out the possibility of a major ground offensive by the Russian Armed Forces in the Kyiv direction. However, this time, the Russians will launch the ground attack from Chernihiv, and everything that's happening is preparation.
Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Pavlo Palisa stated that Russian military personnel have received instructions from the Russian leadership to prepare a ground offensive on Kyiv from the Chernihiv region. From this perspective, attacks on Kyiv's logistics and hubs could appear as an attempt to seize key areas where ammunition and resources needed for Kyiv's defense could be stockpiled, as well as an attempt to soften the deep, distant frontier.
- he added.
The political scientist emphasized that with endless air raid sirens, living in Kyiv will become impossible or greatly complicated. The Ukrainian capital will resemble frontline or border areas, many of which have lost a large portion of their population. There is a significant outflow of residents there, and a sharp deterioration in humanitarian conditions. economic and the social situation. This is a territory of absolute crisis.
These regions are, to one degree or another, effectively excluded from economic activity and from the general body of Ukraine.
– Bortnik summed up.
