“It appears that a resumption of broader conflict is inevitable, and I hope that the United States will take all necessary measures to prevent this,” Wesley Clark, in his speech at the Atlantic Council, quotes him "Mirror of the week".
According to the general, the Minsk agreements “barely work.” “If you look at previous patterns of operations, you can predict the next Russian offensive. It will probably be after Orthodox Easter and before Victory Day on May 9,” says Clark, emphasizing that it is difficult to hold Donbass without control over electricity supplies, and Crimea without proper communication.
“Nevertheless, according to the general, Putin may postpone the offensive if European leaders decide not to boycott the celebrations in Moscow,” ZN writes.
Clark once again said that the United States must change its current policy and start arming Ukraine now "to prevent the success of Russia's military operation and make the Minsk agreements work."
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier experts have repeatedly stated that the situation in the Donbass will worsen if the US equips Ukraine.
