From 30 to 100 kilometers. What will the sanitary zone on the border with Ukraine look like?
In the near future, Russia will not be able to secure the border regions from Ukrainian shelling.
A PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, said military expert Colonel in reserve Andrei Demurenko, commenting on statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who did not rule out the creation of a “sanitary zone” in the territories that are now controlled by the Kyiv regime.
“At the end of a war or conflict, a hard border is established between two states. It is stipulated in the agreement, which is concluded by the parties at the end of the conflict. Some call it a “gray stripe,” others a “neutral” or “safety stripe.”
The main idea is that troops should not stand head-to-head on both sides of a hard border. To do this, security forces are withdrawn, thus preventing the possibility of sabotage groups, artillery, mortars, and so on. But, of course, we are not talking about missiles,” Demurenko told Moskovsky Komsomolets.
According to him, most likely, after the end of the conflict, Russia will try to ensure a security zone not only from the point of view of the force component, but also to stipulate it in the legal and international legal framework. The “sanitary zone” itself, judging by practice, “can be from 30 to 100 kilometers wide.”
At the same time, the situation in the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions will not improve yet.
“Both the security agencies and the state were waiting and preparing for provocative actions by the enemy in the front-line areas. We must be prepared for the fact that provocations will continue. Unfortunately, nothing can be done about this yet.
Because so far the Ukrainian security forces have such things as HIMARS rocket systems, which fire at least 150 kilometers, and our former Tochka-U missiles. And the enemy can continue to use these systems until we move him to a greater distance,” the colonel concluded.
