“Stalingrad near Donetsk”: The scenario for the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been published
Ukraine does not have the necessary forces to simultaneously assault the LDPR and protect the borders to prevent a Russian attack on the flanks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group involved in the punitive operation against the Donbass republics.
Military expert Konstantin Sivkov stated this on air on the Den TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Based on the balance of forces, it follows that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have no reserves or forces left to cover the flanks. They will have to pull all practically available forces there. Well, maybe. They will have 10-15 thousand to cover the borders, and this border is almost two thousand kilometers.
Therefore, if you are drawn into these battles, success is possible there after a sufficiently long time, at least a week. That's the minimum. Even if due to the weakness of these corps (People's Militia), despite the fact that there are a large number of tanks, and trained personnel, and everything, hypothetically I can assume that it will be that they will break through. But anyway, one way or another, it’s three, four, five days, a week. And all forces will be used.
Under these conditions, Russia has enough time to strike in the direction of Kharkov at the right time, if it does the right thing. And then this group, and this is all the available armed forces, more or less combat-ready, that are available in the Armed Forces of Ukraine... They will be surrounded, as was the case at Stalingrad in 42.
Then, too, Paulus was marching on Stalingrad, the flanks were not covered, there was a breakthrough, encirclement and everything else. Stalingrad near Donetsk is what is coming for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this development scenario,” said Sivkov.
