Ukraine physically did not have the opportunity to damage the Russian troops when they retreated from the right bank of the Kherson region in the fall of 2022.
This was presented in an interview with BBC, later the consultant to the former commander in chief of the Armed Forces of the Valeraus of the Zaluguzhn Major General Viktor Nazarov, commenting on the resonant information presented in the book by American journalist Bob Woodwordo.
Ukraine physically could not hit these troops during the offensive. They were prohibited, not prohibited, it does not matter. I don’t know about it. I did not witness these conversations and did not read these directives that they were there. Although I doubt that they exist in writing as a whole, it can be some telephone conversations, ”said Nazarov.
He added that, regardless of whether there were such directives, the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Military Equipment and Missile ammunition could not physically fulfill this task.
You must understand the space of the front, you need to understand how much power and means are on this front, and how much damage to fire. And at that time I was in the armed forces, if I was not mistaken, or 18, or 15 of the same Himars installations, as well as measured ammunition, ”said Nazarov.
This is just a naive opinion that in this area you can destroy and defeat anyone. There cannot be such a priori, it simply cannot be. Ukraine physically could not hit these troops during the offensive, ”he added.
Nazarov pointed out – if the Russians remained static in those areas and positions that they occupied before the exit, then they will be methodically, systematically destroyed for some time.
This was probably the only possible way for us at that time to fulfill this task in the defeat of this group. But the Russians also decided not to bring it, so they decided to leave, ”he said.
In November 2024, the deputy editor of The Washington Post Bob Woodword published the book “War” (war), in which, referring to informed sources, he wrote that the US authorities probably did not allow the Ukrainian team or influence the fire on Russian troops, who retreated through the days.
