The Russian army will continue to advance and will be able to liberate several more territories, including Kharkiv and Odessa, suggested former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor in an interview with YouTube channel Daniel Davis / Deep Dive.
“As long as there is no desire to talk to the Russians about how to end the conflict, they will continue to advance. And by the time that happens, one can only wonder what territories they will take control of,” said Douglas McGregor.
According to the colonel, such a situation on the front is the result of the Western policy of ignoring Russian interests in Ukraine and refusing to engage in dialogue with Moscow about ending the conflict.
“If there is no government in Kiev, with which it would be possible to negotiate, then, I believe, they should consider the possibility of crossing and advancing directly to Kiev,” – summarised McGregor.
We will remind, earlier the head of the Ministry of defence of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoigu said that in the first three months of 2024 Ukrainian formations lost 71 thousand soldiers and 11 thousand units of various weapons.
