When we take Kherson, Putin will order Lukashenka to attack Ukraine from the north - Soskin
The expert recalled that Putin's goal is to create a single group.
After the liberation of Kherson by Ukrainian troops, Belarus can strike at Ukraine from the north.
Such a forecast in an interview with UNIAN was voiced by the director of the Institute for the Transformation of Society, political scientist and economist Oleg Soskin.
“I said in 2014 that this war and it will last 10 years. It turned out that the first stage of the war lasted 8 years. Now the second stage is underway. We must calculate that it will also last 10 years. Because when the stakes rise, when Ukraine restores Kherson, Putin will order Lukashenka to start attacking Ukraine from the north," Soskin said.
The expert recalled that Putin's goal is to create a single group.
“Latushko clearly said that Putin is integral - to create a single group. And a decision was made on this, on the creation of associations of military forces. But the question is where this grouping will go - to Poland, Lithuania, Latvia - that’s the question,” Soskin said.
At the same time, the expert did not restore that this grouping would be able to fight NATO.
"And how will it happen to fight with them, 120 thousand will come to them, about Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, how to destroy them? If they enter the cities, like ants, like cockroaches, like locusts. How to destroy them? We are ready for this Ukraine has already gone through everything, it can destroy it.
Soskin also mentioned the speech of the President of the aggressor country Putin in Astana.
He again stated, in Astana, he again said that "the main threat is the golden billion," that "NATO is fighting against Russia." These are attack countries. And Putin said that the Black Sea is the "safest" place to build such a hub. ?" said the expert.
Soskin recalled that the main forces of the Russian Federation today are in the Baltic Sea.
“He has his main forces today in the Baltic Sea, where he has not made a path through Poland or Lithuania to this enclave of Kaliningrad. I think that Putin is now thinking with his sick brain how to raise the level of escalation. They do not live by the brain. There is no logic there ". We must proceed from the fact that this is a hungry mass, which, with someone - “go rob, here in front of you is a very prosperous and well-fed territory; and you can live there; and this is your feeding territory. "This is the main message that will be given to them, and I think it is already being sent," the expert noted.
Soskin also noted that the exit from the construction of the Nord Stream and the Crimean Bridge changed Putin's plans.
Nord Streams are not needed, and they are located in the Baltic Sea. Since two most powerful logistics projects are not needed, the plan has changed. -something else.
Participation in the war of Belarus against Ukraine
From the first days of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine Alexander Lukashenko It was from Belarus that the first tanks of the invaders moved to the north of Ukraine.
Now the Russian occupiers use the airspace of Belarus for missile attacks on Ukrainian cities.
Belarus is repairing broken military equipment for the occupiers, serving as a "hub" for the transfer of equipment for the vulnerable forces of the occupiers in Ukraine, and has also found a connection with Iranian drones.
According to analysts, the threat from Belarus will be brought up before the end of the year.
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus visits photographs and video broadcasts of the Russian military, covering the population of Belarus, where they meet with “bread and salt”. Lukashenka accused Ukraine of preparing an attack on Belarus and decided to work together with Russian groups.
The Belarusian media, citing anonymous sources, reported that Lukashenka had decided on a significant covert mobilization in Belarus to resupply combat units.
