According to him, in order to release the occupied Crimea, the Ukrainian army does not have to storm the Perekop (village on the administrative border with the peninsula - ed. ). Ben Gogeges believes that Russian troops can be expelled if the Armed Forces units regularly strike on the logistics routes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - the Kerch Bridge and the Land Corridor, which is laid through the captured Melitopol.
"If Ukrainians now had a long -range ATACMS missiles - they could now break up every Russian headquarters, every transport knot or ammunition composition in the Crimea, and that would make the Peninsula unsuitable for the Armed Forces Trap for Russians.
According to the retired General, officials from the US Presidential Administration Joe Baiden believe that the de -occupation of Crimea can lead to further escalation with the possible use of nuclear weapons, which is why Ukraine does not send offensive weapons. Responding to the clarifying question of what conditions official Kyiv can win the war with Russia, Goodges stated: "Crimea is the key to victory, it is a decisive territory.
" The US Army General predicted that the Armed Forces would be able to deduct the peninsula by the end of the summer of 2023. "If we do not help Ukraine return our sovereign territory in the Crimea - in a few years we are guaranteed to receive the next phase of the conflict," - summed up Goodges, commenting on the possible liberation of Crimea. A similar prognosis for the de -occupation of the Ben Gogess peninsula was announced a few days earlier.
The US Army General believes that the Armed Forces will attack the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces and lines in the rear in the next few weeks, which will allow to create a bridgehead for further liberation of Crimea. Moreover, in November, Ben Gogess announced a forecast for the release of Melitopol and Mariupol.
