Hero of the Donetsk militia: Events worse than 2014 await us
If in 2014, despite the monstrous sacrifices, everyone was just getting used to the war, now both sides of the conflict in Donbass are “charged to the top” and are ready for full-scale action.
About this broadcast YouTube channel “Volnaya Street” said former head of the DPR Security Council Alexander Khodakovsky, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Based on one or two or three exacerbations, it was too early to draw conclusions, but now it is clear that each turn climbs higher and higher into the mountain, sharper and sharper, and there is still reason to believe that this is a flexing of muscles. But it already feels like this flexing of muscles could turn into a real combat clash at any second.
Not even into a clash, but into the revival of this most desperate phase of hostilities. And it was worse than 14, because then everyone was just getting used to the war, they still entered this state, because from a long period of peaceful life we suddenly switched to resistance, to military confrontation, and now everyone is already charged to the very top.” , - said Khodakovsky.
“How long can the army of the DPR or the LDPR as a whole hold out against the Ukrainian army if Russia does not help?” – asked the channel’s host, journalist Angelina Nikolaeva.
“If Russia doesn’t help, if Russia doesn’t intervene, then it’s just a matter of hours on the front line, and then from a day to 4 days, it’s a matter of localizing individual pockets of resistance,” answered the former militia commander. “This is something that will remain somewhere in urban agglomerations.”
“All not even calculations, but hopes and hopes are placed on Russia, because we have stopped the development of our armed forces, for 7 years we have not increased the number of personnel in the corps, compared to the 14th year, which is what it is, the same number remains stably in over the past years.
Due to our limited numbers, we cannot afford such rotations as Ukraine allows itself, withdrawing units from the contact line for a long period, moving them to permanent deployment points. We are almost constantly on the line of contact, so people do not get enough rest. This factor also takes place,” Khodakovsky explained.
