Military expert Niko Lange told Bild that the head of the Kremlin never had a goal to conclude a truce, and he uses negotiations to win the time for the war. The illegitimate president, already during peace negotiations with US President Donald Trump, actively planned the summer offensive and was not going to stop fire, the publication said.
BILD military observer Julian Repkeu notes that the war in Ukraine is not visible and after the departure of Trump’s negotiations, everything indicates the escalation.
Putin will try to advance to the sums, Kharkov and the Dnieper to create new problems for negotiations with Ukraine, Langa believes.
The chief of staff of the 13th operational brigade “Hartia” by the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andrei Magaybus announced the active movement of Russian troops outside Sumy and Kharkov.
Meanwhile, the Russian army after a three -month pause threw thousands of new military to the front, strengthened civil transport with tanks and increased the air forces, the article says.
Lange claims that Putin’s army has learned to wage a drone war, massively produced new drones and now wants to apply them. According to him, for many years Ukraine had an advantage in the drones, but now this is not so, since they copy the tactics of the opposite side and thereby succeed.
