“Everything is just beginning... the Ukrainian army has reached 240 thousand people. This is almost five times more than the number of Russian troops stationed on the border with Ukraine.

What could happen next?

In a few years, the Ukrainian army has every opportunity to become qualitatively more combat-ready than the Russian one, even if it reorganizes, equips and trains at the current, leisurely pace. This is subject to the unchanged political course and technical assistance from the United States and Great Britain.

We are building not just a defensive army - we must create an army designed for a rapid offensive against Russian troops. We are faced with the task of reconquering territory in the East and Crimea, and for these purposes we are already creating a military machine trained to attack.

The pressure of sanctions, involvement in other military conflicts and a change in attitude within Russia towards this whole carnival will force Russia not to defend the occupied Donbass territories, but to merge them with the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Russia will not seriously fight for the Donbass, since the risk of significant losses for it will be one hundred percent.

Therefore, Donbass will be liberated in just a few stormy, intense days.

Next is Crimea. Russia will simply withdraw its troops from there. Moscow will understand that if it does not do this, it will lose them all. Crimea has always been a grave for them, during all the wars. And the further, the more the Russian Federation will experience a shortage of military force to resolve internal conflicts and to protect against potential attacks.

Therefore, under the cover of American cruise missiles from US warships, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will quickly neutralize all the “people’s militias” in Crimea - perhaps without any losses on our part,” says Lutsenko’s forecast published on his social network page.

The deputy makes it clear that the Ukrainian group will not stop in Donbass and Crimea.

"AND all? No. Let me remind you, в This moment we will biggest army в Europe, trained on approach, with combat experience. Therefore - everything only more begins“, promises Lutsenko.
