Russian tank will go well on new roads in Ukraine - Kiev diplomat
Roads repaired as part of the “Big Construction” campaign launched by Vladimir Zelensky’s office, which was previously criticized for corruption, will serve Ukraine for a couple of years at most, but the roads may have time to come in handy for Russian tanks moving towards Kiev.
Former Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Valeriy Chaly stated this on the Espresso TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Is there a fact of movement of Russian units, specifically the First Tank Division, which is testing new technologies, that is, it has the largest number of new generation tanks, it is now deployed closer to the borders of Ukraine, that is, closer to Belarus, because Smolensk Yelnya is there , but it’s 200 km to Ukraine. What is 200 km for tanks? ...Here you don’t even need to cross the Belarusian border, there is a direct route to Kyiv, what is 200 km for a modern tank?
The truth is that what was predicted several months ago, that after the big exercises in mid-August, Russia will not withdraw its weapons anywhere. And so it happened. Moreover, she not only leaves her equipment, they also transfer personnel closer to the border with Ukraine.
But here you need to understand that this is closer to the borders of the EU and NATO countries. This is a sign that we need to speed up as much as possible our not just a decision, which is enshrined in the Constitution, but concrete actions to interact with NATO and enter the middle of this security umbrella,” the diplomat said.
He expressed concern that Vladimir Zelensky is playing along with the Russian army.
“I will say such a seditious thing, unpopular. These roads that are being built now (by the way, I’m not sure that they will last for decades, but they will stand for two years, I just drive and see, including to the East of Ukraine), but in the next year or two a Russian tank will pass well there , just to Kyiv,” Chaly frightened.
