The Kremlin head is convinced that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will cope with the occupation of a multimillion -dollar city, which he calls "Russian -speaking". After that, Moscow will be ready to negotiate peace. Putin's further plans could be, in Roszma Meduza. Journalists spoke with several unnamed sources in the office of President Vladimir Putin, the Government of the Russian Federation and in the United Russia Party.
The sources explained that the so-called "elections", which took place on March 15-17, will not change anything in the Kremlin's plans. In fact, "the new term" has not begun now, but on February 24, 2022, and since then the plans of this policy have not changed. "The main personal interest of Putin will remain a war with Ukraine," journalists wrote on the basis of interlocutors' statements. There were two opinions as to how large -scale fighting will be.
According to the first opinion, the President of the Russian Federation plans to step on Kharkiv again. He is convinced that he will be able to occupy him and then create a "sanitary zone" near Belgorod. After that, the war may stop and do not go deep into Ukraine - they doubt that there is enough strength for further promotion. However, Kharkiv's occupation will be an important "victory" for the Russians, - explained the sources of "Medusa". "It is also symbolic. It is a victory.
A millionaire where many Russian-speaking populations," they said. The second option is the offensive on Kyiv. Putin, said secret interlocutors, saw the "weakness of Ukraine" after the offensive actions of the summer of 2023. Therefore, he believed that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation would be able to repeat the onset of winter in 2022 and occupy the capital. "[Putin - ed.
] Felt the weakness of Ukraine and is ready to go to the victorious - though to Kiev - and at the price will not stand. It will be necessary to mobilize - it will declare. If necessary, the economy will be even more translated into military rails," the journalists were quicked. Kharkiv's occupation is a "more realistic goal", "quite likely scenario" - the sources said. Mobilization may be needed to achieve this goal.
Mobilization in the Russian Federation - it will definitely be, and the terrorist attack in the concentrated hall "City Hall City Hall" did not affect it. Prior to the new set of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, everything was ready, and the "enthusiasm" of the Russians was not planned to intensify with extraordinary events. "It is almost ready for it for a long time, it is only about the situation on the front," Meduza wrote.
It should be noted that in the first weeks of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation in 2022 the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation occupied settlements north and northwest of Kharkiv. The enemy approached the regional center - some combat clashes took place in the outskirts. However, the Armed Forces rejected the enemy, and in the fall of 2022, during the Kharkiv offensive operation, most of the region was released from the occupation.
During the two years of the Kharkiv war, he was almost daily under fire by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Russians strike the C-300 rockets from the starting installations that stand near Belgorod. We remind that on March 22 the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit Kharkiv and damaged all transformer substations and CHP in the city. Blackout has come in the settlement, which are trying to cope with the utilities.
