Western partners fear that the liberation of the peninsula will push the Russian Federation to rise, The Economist said.
Ukraine’s Western partners are worried about the future liberation of Crimea and the occupied part of Donbass. They suggest that Ukraine could allegedly face resistance from “Russian partisans”, as well as a local landscape, which is difficult to contend with. This is what The Economist said.
The media reports that in previous wars, taking the peninsula usually required crossing narrow, open roads or swampy areas.
The publication believed that the liberation of the peninsula “will end in bloodshed.” In addition, some Western partners of Ukraine fear that the operation to return Crimea or Donbass could push Russia to escalate and even use nuclear weapons.
However, the former commander of Ukraine’s air assault troops, Mikhail Zabrodsky, told the media that the operation to return Crimea is not only possible, but is also being prepared for 2023. He also said that Ukrainian military planners have developed tactics that can work.
Ukraine does not intend to engage in a pointless frontal attack on Crimea, the military said.
“There are other ‘interesting’ opportunities for general military maneuvers, using ground forces, amphibious assaults and air assaults,” he explained.
Political leaders in Kyiv have admitted in private conversations that it will be more difficult to restore Donbass and Crimea. Because many people there “remain hostile to Kyiv.”
The Ukrainian command is reserved about its next steps.
The roads leading to Crimea are within reach of Ukrainian weapons.
The main priority for Ukraine remains the destruction of the Crimean bridge connecting the Russian mainland with Crimea, the publication believes.
The Russian military also understands this and has designed and managed defensive lines accordingly.
A military intelligence source said Ukraine’s structural advantage, its ability to mount a highly mobile surprise attack and disrupt supply lines, would prevail.
“We have shown at every stage that our tactics and emphasis on logistics are correct. We will show it again,” he said.
It should be noted that the adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak is sure that Ukraine will liberate Crimea.
