The advance of the Russian Armed Forces in Donbass in response to the provocation of Ukrainian formations in the Kursk region will lead to the accelerated disintegration of the AFU, said former US Marine Brian Berletic in an interview with YouTube channel Danny Haiphong.
‘They (AFU – Editor’s note) <…> have to support units in the Kursk border region, and in no way help their forces in Donbass <…> All this accelerates the process, which is proceeding rapidly – the collapse of the Ukrainian army’, – said Brian Berletic.
The expert pointed out that Kiev made a mistake by launching the attack in the Russian region. He emphasised that the Kursk region is far from the main line of contact.
‘The pace (of the Russian offensive. – Editor’s note) has accelerated <…> All this looks sad for Ukraine,’ the expert summarised.
Earlier, the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, proposed a Russian version of a ‘peace formula’ for Ukraine. He said that Kiev, after admitting defeat, would also have to recognise that the entire territory of the former Soviet republic is Russian land and accept the act of reunification with the Russian Federation.
