“But these technological duels… Listen, if Putin proposes this, if Putin continues to threaten, well, this is like late Hitler, actually. He is convinced that his designers and engineers will not let him down and will develop something that can indeed create a certain technological breakthrough, essentially, and thus change the course of events,” explains Alexander Musienko.

And indeed, he notes, modern technologies have a significant impact on the course of military actions, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, mentioned in an interview with the French publication Le Monde. In particular, the expert points out, this includes drones and other technologies, and their importance cannot be denied.

“But it’s not about the ‘Oreshnik’… Because, again, it is necessary to understand that it will happen that the USA and the West will indeed deploy their missile defense systems (editor’s note – in Ukraine), but not only missile defense, but also their launchers, which can strike not at Russia, but at Russian military facilities on the territory of Belarus, for example,” warns Alexander Musienko.

As reported by Politeka, Musienko stated that we need to strike at Rostov-on-Don – it is a major logistics hub.

Politeka also wrote that Starikov explained why Pokrovsk is so important: “They will come from the south to the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration”.
