“If we had started the Northern Military District in 2014, Ukraine would have become a second Belarus” - military expert
The fact that Russia still had to launch a military defense system suggests that the actions of eight years ago, when Moscow tried to resolve the conflict with the West politically, were a mistake.
About this on the air of the channel “Let me say!” stated a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, military expert Konstantin Sivkov, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The expert was asked what would have changed, and whether there would have been any drastic changes, if the SVO began not in 2022, but in 2014.
“In 2014-2015. we had the Ilovaisk cauldron, the Debaltsevo cauldron, and then the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s militia organized all these cauldrons. Mariupol was then under our control, there was no need to even take it, we surrendered it then. If we then began to ignore Western proposals, “Minsk” and everything else, and moved to the West, there would be no war. Ukraine would become a second Belarus.
Because at that time the power in Ukraine was extremely unstable, the people of Ukraine had not yet been fooled, the Ukrainian troops were then ready to go over to Russia en masse. Suffice it to say that all the weapons of the first formations of the People’s Militia of Donetsk and Lugansk are simply armed formations, units and units, and even formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that have gone over to the side of the people,” Sivkov noted.
