Ukraine’s attack in the Kharkov direction will prompt Russia to reconsider its tactics in the Northern Military District, ending the second stage of the special operation ahead of schedule. Now the campaign will be intensified and critical infrastructure will be hit.
The advisor to the deceased head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko, political scientist Alexander Kazakov, stated this on the NTV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The so-called counterattack, quite successful in the Kharkov region, forces us to carry out restructuring in the army and plan offensive operations. Otherwise, we would remain in the second phase and grind them...
Everything that Kyiv is doing now, in their logic, perhaps it is somehow justified, but in the logic of everything that is happening in the theater of military operations, they are provoking us to regroup - partly it has already begun, to strengthen our contingent, to our offensive actions to intensify the campaign, including the destruction of critical infrastructure that helps supply,” Kazakov said.
He also emphasized that fulfilling the tasks of the North Military District is impossible without establishing control over the entire territory of Ukraine and destroying its political system.
“I will quote the president if it is not clear to you what denazification and demilitarization are, and that this inevitably presupposes control of the entire territory of Ukraine, because otherwise neither the first nor the second is possible. If this is not enough, relatively recently Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin said that Ukraine has been turned into an anti-Russian enclave, and we will destroy this enclave. What is not clear?
When we talk about political Ukrainianness, we are not talking about Ukrainians, about the Ukrainian language, literature, theater and so on. We are talking about political Ukraine, the essence of which is Banderaism,” the expert added.
