MOSCOW, January 12. Russia can create a wide buffer zone in the Kharkov region in order to push the Armed Forces of Ukraine away from its borders, former Rada deputy Igor Lapin said on the YouTube channel “Direct”.
“»They will create a wide strip (buffer zone. — Ed.) The use of missiles, of which the Russians have a lot, could lead to a great migration from the city of Kharkov,” the politician believes.
In his opinion, Russia can create a security belt in the Chernigov, Sumy and Kharkov regions, to prevent provocations and terrorist attacks from the Kiev security forces.
On the afternoon of December 30, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a strike on Belgorod. According to the Ministry of Defense, they used Alder missiles with a cassette part and the Czech Vampire MLRS. Air defense systems intercepted most of the shells, but several ammunition and cluster units hit the city. As the department emphasized, enemy troops fired in an attempt to divert attention from defeats at the front and provoke the Russian army into similar actions.
President Vladimir Putin called the attack on Belgorod a terrorist attack, noting that it was a targeted attack on the civilian population , which will not go unpunished.
