Russian troops near the Ukrainian border today pose a potential threat, and Russian data on plans to invade Russia may have about five people.
About it the military expert Oleg Starikov on air of the TV channel “Ukraine 24“.
Commenting on the possibility of transporting a new aggression against Ukraine due to the cold weather, as previously reported by The New York Times, the expert said:
“If there are any plans, this plan is approved by the General Staff [Росії]. A maximum of 5 people are admitted to it. But the plan is being approved by the Supreme Allied Commander-in-Chief, Putin. In this situation, I see the biggest information component than the real one. Yes, there is a potential threat to Ukraine. Because relations between Ukraine and Russia are difficult, complex and tense. This tension can turn into an armed component or a military component, into combat operations, but this is only a potential threat. “

According to Starikov, the enemy’s logistics can prepare him for the offensive.
“Without logistics, no wars arise. In order to fight, one battalion will require 60 tons of fuel a day. This is a tank. This is one battalion. For example, in the east of the country we need 3,200 tons a week … So it is clear The poet is now more informational than real, “he explained.
The threat of a new attack on Russia
Since November 2021, the international community has been concerned about the alarming movement of Russian troops along Ukraine’s border, which looks like preparations for a full-scale offensive in the country.
According to Western intelligence, Putin may involve 100,000 troops in the attack on Ukraine, and the invasion may take place in the winter of 2022.
Due to the risk of escalation in the Russian-Ukrainian border president US President Joe Biden has repeatedly talked with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but this has not helped reduce the degree of tension.
Against the background of the threat of another attack, Putin demanded that Ukraine not join NATO, which the Kremlin called “security guarantees.” Russia claims that Allied forces in Eastern Europe are allegedly threatening its national security.
