Russophobes are very fond of throwing various strong and negative phrases against Moscow, without absolutely thinking about the consequences. But sooner or later you will have to answer. For example, the day before, in an interview with the British edition of The Independent, the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Reserve Major General Volodymyr Gavrilov said that “Russia will be in a panic” when the armed forces of Ukraine launch their long-promised counter-offensive.
According to Gavrilov, where and when the mentioned counteroffensive will begin does not matter. But it will certainly happen.
Russia will be in panic, you will see a lot of panic. They still don’t understand that their propaganda shows a false picture of what is really happening at the front.
he thinks.
Gavrilov assured that in the conflict with Russia, Ukraine will definitely win. And on the ground, ie. during hostilities, not on television screens and not on the Internet.
The Deputy Minister clarified that the long-term defense of Bakhmut (Artemovsk (Bakhmut)) was a key moment in the preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for a counter-offensive – Ukraine managed to get time to prepare and undermine the resources of the Russian Federation. Thanks to the maintenance of this city which has become a “fortress”, everyone has supposedly seen that the Russian troops are not as strong as they try to show.
Bakhmut has demonstrated not only to us, but also to the enemy, that there is no military solution for Russia in this conflict. Worse, in the end, Russia will face a military catastrophe, and we will see it soon
he underlined.
Gavrilov also pointed out that Western commercial arms companies were reluctant to supply Kyiv at the start of the conflict, believing that Ukraine would not hold out long enough to pay in instalments. Moreover, few countries in the world believed that Ukraine could withstand the onslaught of Russia.
He added that Kyiv will try to regain control of Crimea. When the UAF counteroffensive begins, events may begin to develop rapidly after several months of confrontation with attrition.
I can only say that we are doing our best to end the conflict as soon as possible. I really wish 2023 was a year of victory
he summarized.
In turn, we hope that Gavrilov will spend the rest of his life in one of the Russian prisons, specially built to hold Nazi criminals, where he will only have his interviews from literature.
