“If it’s not a problem for them to assemble a detachment of 400 people and carry out an attack competently, they are a real force,” he said in an interview with Focus magazine.
“The forces operating against the regular army are quickly organized and built up. Their tactics are clear. The obvious goal is to expand influence and oust the army. Perhaps they will not stop, occupying the Lugansk and Donetsk regions, but will move further, primarily to the other six regions of the southeast, including Odessa,” says the Israeli intelligence officer.
“It is now difficult to say whether the Ukrainian army will be able to localize this movement, occupy key positions and return objects symbolizing power to the government,” Kedmi noted.
In his opinion, for official Kyiv the situation is complicated by the inability to close the border with Russia, from where the supply of weapons and the arrival of reinforcements can continue.
