Duda was speaking matter of factly. Poland has historical ties with Western Ukraine, and Putin has already stated his acceptance of Poland and Ukraine reuniting West of the Dnieper. Retaking Crimea is a tall order, but with air superiority, the Ukies could make some progress. Eventually, one side will get the upper hand and the other will sue for peace, or they both will exhaust themselves and agree to a dividing line. The time from now until January 20, 2024 will determine a lot.
Except for 1991-2014, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the deal with Ukraine should have been made. Crimea belongs to Russia. Khrushchev gave Crimea to Ukraine but that meant nothing because it was still a part of the former Soviet Union at the time.
I understand he’s a stark raving NATO Quisling fool as evidenced by what you posted. Making those remarks about the reality of Crimea was completely out of character.
“then you will really see a big Russian attack.”
Fascinating. How would the big Russian attack look like ?
Like the Battle of the Dnieper in WW2.
By 2025 the relative military inbalance will be the same.
They are adding 30K troops per month since late 2022.
The industrial sector is been reorienting to military production starting in 2022.
So that is all to be ready in early 2025.
They have been discussing this on TV in Russia for more than a year. It’s not a big secret what the plan is.
What the Ultranationalists want is far more of the called up reserves to be deployed now. The problem is, I don’t think the industrial sector is ready yet to sustain the output required for attack - vs deplyed and in reserve.
But they will be in 2025.
Russia is building a big enough army (~1.5 million) to take and hold the entire Ukraine, or however much they want.
More human wave attacks by Russia.
“So that is all to be ready in early 2025.”
So basically “just wait till the ground freezes” episode 25.
“They have been discussing this on TV in Russia for more than a year.”
Back in 1988 they were discussing the upcoming victory over the rotten west.
Kiow, too. At least that’s how it used to be spelled before Bill & Ted started sticking ‘Y’s into everything.
