“The strategy of the North Military District has changed radically - we are taking everything” - Colonel Trukhan
Ukraine itself has adjusted Moscow’s strategy regarding the liberated territories - now it is absolutely clear that Russia will not leave the occupied cities.
Retired Colonel of the Central Apparatus of the Russian Ministry of Defense Vladimir Trukhan said this on air on the PolitWera Internet channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Kremlin does not view these territories as “temporarily entered and temporarily left.” So I see that (before the start of the SVO - ed.) it was considered a working option that we would deliver a blocking strike, quickly begin to deal with Donetsk, and (then - ed.) leave everything else to Ukraine. This is no longer possible due to the Ukrainian side, which started Bucha, repressions, etc. That is, the next point came: the task was adjusted not because we planned it incorrectly - we planned many options.
Now these territories will be integrated. There (in Ukraine - ed.) there is a lot of information noise around this (spreading - ed.) in order to force a reaction, this also needs to be done. But in the end, this goal is visible, it is obvious. The territories will be integrated. This leaves its mark on the actions of the Armed Forces, because if we don’t need the city of Hamburg, then the TU-195 squadron can be sent there. He will create a bunch of ruins there, but why treat cities that should be ours in the same way? To take the Martian desert and scorched lands?
This is what Ukraine is doing, shooting down populated areas and unleashing terror. War is a cynical thing,” Trukhan said.
