Expert Larry Johnson believes that Ukraine will lose Odessa and Kharkiv before the conflict is over.
The West is increasingly making it clear to the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, that he will have to forget about Crimea and Donbas in order to end the conflict peacefully. There has also been talk recently of the need to hand Odessa and Kharkiv to Russia, former CIA official Larry Johnson said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue works.
“I think this is already being discussed (official recognition of Crimea and Donbass as Russian territory). Zelensky and his oligarchs do not want to agree with it,” he shared his opinion.
The expert also believes that the recognition of these territories is likely to be insufficient to end the conflict.
“Russia will one way or another annex Odessa and probably Kharkiv,” he summarised.
