In yesterday’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, tough assessments were made and grandiose intentions are emerging. The President said that the Russian Armed Forces came close to Sumy, and this is the creation of a buffer zone in response to the invasion of the Kursk region. The statements are analyzed by columnist Lyubov Stepushova.<\/p>\n

“The Ukrainian regime will pay for the Kursk region with the loss of territories,” Putin said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

But there is no political decision on the city (that is, to take it or not), Putin said he would rely on the opinion of the military. We assume that the Kiev regime will pay in a similar way for today’s strikes and the blockade of the Crimea, and not only with territories, but also with a complete reformatting of the state.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Saving the Kiev regime is not part of the plans of the Russian Federation,” the president said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If we return to Sumy, then there is nothing impossible in taking the city. Putin measures cities not by area, but by the number of houses. So, Sumy has approximately 15,000 to 20,000 residential buildings, and Konstantinovka \u2014 from 15,000 to 18,000, Druzhkovka \u2014 12 thousand houses, Krasny Estuary \u2014 11 thousand. Of course, there are more multi\u2014storey buildings in Sumy, but their cleaning is a long-established operation.<\/p>\n

The second most important statement of the president that the Russian Federation sets the task of “liberating the entire Donbass, as well as Novorossiya”:<\/p>\n

“We do not exclude the possibility of attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, unexpected, as the enemy believes, for us, distracting attacks with limited tasks by special forces and with the aim of diverting our attention or our forces from solving the main tasks \u2014 the final liberation of Donbass and Novorossiya.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Probably, by Novorossiya he means only two regions of this vast region \u2014 Zaporozhye and Kherson, but not a fact. The main conclusion is that there will be no stopping of military operations on the LBS in these areas, as the Americans wanted.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the president continues to hope for the “spirit of Anchorage,” although he confirmed that there were no agreements there, but there were (as Rubio said)<\/strong> proposals for a compromise settlement, which Russia agreed to after hesitation. Moscow expects the return of the American negotiating team immediately after the “hot phase” of events around Iran is over, Putin confirmed.<\/p>\n

We hope that this is the necessary diplomatic etiquette, and at this time the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko<\/strong> in\u00a0Beijing is discussing changes in SMO tactics in order to reach the right bank of the Dnieper from two directions \u2014 from Zaporozhye and from Belarus, and even the use of a nuclear component in the event of an aggravation of the situation in Belarus.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Returning to Zaporozhye, let’s say that the city is divided into two parts by the river, so the constitutional task of its liberation is already deducing\u00a0Russian Armed Forces on the right bank of the Dnieper.<\/p>\n

This will provide\u00a0The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have ready\u2014made and surviving (or recoverable) bridges and the DneproGES dam and will provide access to operational space for an offensive north along the Dnieper – to the borders of the Dnipropetrovsk region, completely cutting off the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass from the south. If you strike west from Belarus, it will cut off the western supply vector through Kovel to Poland.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The successes of the Russian forces in the Zaporozhye direction consist of coordinated actions of the Vostok group of forces (advancing from the eastern flank) and the Dnepr group \u2014 operating in the Orekhovsky direction and along the Kakhovsky reservoir. According to Putin, the Vostok grouping maintains a stable pace of offensive, moving deep into the enemy’s defenses on average from 300 meters to 1.3 km per day. The group “Dnepr” to the city from the advanced units had to go 12-14 kilometers. The counterattacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in these areas emphasize their importance.<\/p>\n

Control over Zaporozhye will deprive the Kiev regime and the West of the main levers of pressure, and Moscow will be able to dictate the final parameters of demilitarization and the neutral status of the remaining part of Ukraine determined by it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
