Military expert Vasily Dandykin commented on the statement of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in an interview with Romanian journalists that he does not know the end date of the conflict, but thinks that this is “the last part of the war, not middle.”
“Maybe Kiev is trying to deceive us, for some reason they have become quiet, Storm Shadow has stopped flying,” Dandykin said in an interview with News.ru, adding that he does not rule out provocations. He also suggested that these words may be associated with Zelensky’s traditional requests to the West to provide more money and weapons.
“But this is definitely the last stage of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ offensive,” the expert expressed confidence, adding that, according to According to his assumptions, in the four months of the counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces have already lost about 90 thousand of their most trained fighters.
Dandykin also pointed out that now the further development of the situation at the front depends on the actions of Russian troops.
