Putin threats "sanitary zone": experts evaluated the chances of the Russian Federation to seize new territories of Ukraine
The head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko and the military-political observer of the Information Resistance group Alexander Kovalenko stated this in a comment to RBC-Ukraine. According to Musienko, Putin chose to threaten the Ukrainians better to "sanitary zones" than to explain to the Russians, as it happened that one by one because of the UAV attacks, oil refineries in Russia explode and burn. "After Moscow's intentions, nothing changes conceptually.
Putin went out to the press and repeated what he said earlier. It is much more convenient to talk about" sanitary zones "than to explain how it turned out that Russian air defense fails with threats and only for the last Time was arrivals at 13 refineries, ”Musienko said. He added that nothing is changing in the rhetoric of the Russian authorities - all the same - to destroy Ukrainian statehood.
In his turn, the observer Oleksandr Kovalenko noted that Russia will not be able to create a "sanitary zone" in Ukraine, which Putin says, because it will not have enough strength. "There are no forces at this stage. They can only carry out terrorist attacks, not fully capture large territories. They will not have enough strength and money in Kharkiv, even after mobilization," the expert said.
It should be reminded that Putin during his speech at his election headquarters on March 17, answering the need for the capture of Kharkiv region of Ukraine, Putin noted that in the event of continuation of attacks, Russia will create a "sanitary zone" in most of the Ukrainian territory to guarantee the safety of the Russian territory. The OP responded to Putin's words about the "sanitary zone" in Ukraine.
