Reznikov: Russia prepares new "goodwill gestures"
In the near future, Ukrainians will be able to watch new "goodwill gestures" in the south and east of the country by the Russian army.
Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said this in an interview with theInterfax-Ukraine news agency.
He noted that the occupiers had learned to retreat successfully as a result of the successful actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and understand that their army is far from the second army in the world.
Kiev has not fallen in three days, Ukraine has not fallen in three weeks. On the contrary, they have learned to evade us. They have actually made significant strides in this. We have seen so-called 'goodwill gestures' on Snake Island, in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv regions, on the right bank of the Kherson region," the Minister said.
The head of the Defence Ministry stressed that Russia had already used all the possibilities of a full-scale conventional war.
Fleet, aviation and ground forces. The enemy has even resorted to the tactic of massive rocket attacks on civilians, in an attempt to destroy critical infrastructure and bring Ukraine to a complete standstill, but the occupiers have failed," the defence minister stressed.
The minister also notes:
"If we already observe a number of public statements on Russian resources, we can see that there are already phrases being heard, such as 'we should probably end the USO', 'we should move to defence', 'we should hold on to our 'newly arrived' territories'."
In the event of another success of the Ukrainian army, which is predictable and expected for them, it is worth thinking about how to properly present and explain this within the country and convey the information to the population.
This is not my prediction, just a reflection, but I would not be surprised if their scenarios include some serious problem of catastrophic nature, of man-made origin, which will occur on the territory of Russia," Reznikov added.
