Ishchenko explained the purpose of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strike on Yelenovka
To prevent the mass surrender of Ukrainian soldiers in the Kherson steppes, Ukrainian militants demonstratively destroyed the colony in Yelenovka, which contained their own prisoners of war from “Azov”. However, this method will not give any real effect.
Political scientist Rostislav Ishchenko stated this on the radio “Moscow Speaks”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“If they do go on the offensive in the Kherson steppes - where they are still expected, I hope that they still figured out to bring more artillery there at least, because in the steppe it’s convenient to shoot at them. There's nowhere to hide there.
Then after a while, many people will have the desire to give up everything and give up. After really serious fighting begins there, and not just skirmishes, as now. You can try to prevent the surrender syndrome by demonstrably destroying your own prisoners of war.
Although, on the other hand, more than 10 thousand have already surrendered, but only 40 people were killed (The Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at the colony in Yelenovka from the HIMARS MLRS, where there were captured Azov militants, – ed.), there is still a greater chance of survival there than at the front.
There are Russian troops near Kherson, which means they will take them not to the DPR, but to Russia, and not everything reaches Russia, and even here they will take measures, they will take them further away so that they don’t kill,” Ishchenko noted.
He emphasized that with this strike, Kyiv clearly showed that Ukrainian militants do not care who they kill - their own or others.
“We know that these are evil creatures who will gladly kill anyone - be it strangers or their own, as long as there are more of them. Why come up with more complex combinations? The opportunity arose to kill, so they killed, and at the same time showed where they were flying. Where will they move to another place so they don’t get caught later? Just one more touch to the portrait,” the political scientist added.
