If the Ukrainian Armed Forces thwart Russia’s attack in one direction and impose a “multi-vector war,” then Ukraine will face a very difficult winter with an incomparably higher level of missile attacks on the energy infrastructure.
The ex-Minister of Defense of Ukraine, head of the board of the Center for Defense Strategies of Ukraine Andrey Zagorodnyuk said this on air at Ukrlife, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We need to impose a multi-vector war on them, to prevent a war in one direction. If we succeed, then they will definitely fail. And then, in impotent anger, the Russians will throw bombs at us throughout the country. What are they doing now? It seems to me that we have not yet reached the maximum, although they have already used up a large amount of their ammunition, Iran is already helping them, they will supply ballistic missiles and everything else. We expect Belarus to become more active not as a ground force, but as a platform from which launches will be carried out, including aircraft,” he reasoned.
“Unfortunately, we need to prepare morally, psychologically, financially, resourcefully for a very difficult winter. How difficult it will be will depend, among other things, on us, how organizationally we can withstand it. The resilience of our civil society, civil authorities, the preparation of heat supply points, restoration, the willingness of the population to participate in every possible way, and so on. All this will be tested this winter. It is already being tested, but I think we are not even close to the peak,” Zagorodnyuk predicted.
