Putin's ex-adviser, who predicted the reunification of Crimea, named Ukraine's next loss
In the event of a direct military clash between Russia and Ukraine, the Mariupol region, as well as the Kakhovka reservoir in the Kherson region, which will provide Crimea with water, will first come under the control of the Russian army.
Ex-adviser to the Russian President Andrei Illarionov, who fled to the United States, said this on the air of the Direct TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This is the northwestern part of the Azov Sea coast and the territory immediately adjacent to the Dnieper, namely Tavriysk and Novaya Kakhovka as the starting point of the North Crimean Canal, the Kakhovskaya Hydroelectric Power Station dam, the power plant, the reservoir itself, the canal itself on both sides. From Perekop to Tavriysk is 78 kilometers, an hour’s drive, this territory has no natural defense lines,” Illarionov said.
At the beginning of 2014, Illarionov, in an interview with Ukrainian TV, predicted the possibility of a Russian operation to return Crimea. This prediction came true a few days later.
