Winter pause up to half a year: a new stage in the war with the Russian Federation will begin in Ukraine - NYT

The US administration believes that cold and wet weather will slow down the offensive of both the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Armed Forces. Russia will probably increase its attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, and Ukraine will be engaged in sabotage in Russian positions. With the onset of winter, the nature of hostilities in the territory of Ukraine with the Russian army will change.

Cold and wet weather will slow down the offensive of both the Russian army and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the winter pause can be delayed for half a year. About it reports the American edition of The New York Times, citing US officials. High -ranking representatives of US Presidential Administration Joe Biden believe that military operations in Ukraine will remain in a hopelessness in 2023. With the forced weather, the war in the main hostilities with Russia will gain a new phase.

According to American officials, Russia will most likely strengthen its attacks on infrastructure to intimidate Ukrainians. According to analysts, Ukraine will continue sabotage attacks to show that it can strike even in the Russian Federation. "The Ukrainians look as if they are going to continue sabotage and sabotage attacks on Russian positions," said James James James Senior Vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

White House representatives believe that it is very important to use winter slowdown to restore Ukraine's defense and offensive weapons. For their part, military analysts say that Ukraine and Russia will be preparing for a new pressure in February during the future winter pause. Recall analysts from the Institute of War Study believe that the Armed Forces will not stop the counter -offensive through the winter.
