“There are no normal people there, there is no democrat who would change the entire Russian system, so it won’t happen. Russia simply needs to break up and then we could think about something there in the future. Perhaps the war will be stopped, everyone will be recalled, but the ambitions will remain the same,” answers Jānis Slaidiņš, NBS major, National Guard staff officer, in the TV24 program “Actual about the war in Ukraine”.

It has already been reported that the Russian forces in Ukraine still have the initiative on the battlefield, but their success is only tactical, as the Russians are unable to break through the defending Ukrainian front.

The course of the battle is currently also characterized by Russia’s attacks on the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine, as a result of which the peaceful population suffers and dies. Recently, the Russians’ main civilian targets in Ukraine are Odesa and Kharkiv, and the energy infrastructure is especially at risk, Slaidinš pointed out.

As the third feature characterizing the course of the battle, he mentioned relatively successful asymmetric operations on the Ukrainian side, striking Russian-controlled oil refineries and air defense systems. “The main focus is on Crimea, where it looks like Ukrainian forces are trying to destroy the air defenses of the Russian armed forces,” the expert said, suggesting that the Ukrainians might be preparing to attack the Crimean bridge in this way.

When asked what Russia would like to present to its citizens as a gift on May 9, the National Guard staff officer replied that it is very difficult to predict anything in war, as 90% of predictions usually do not come true. “Whether there will be any significant success by May 9, of course, it all depends on Russia’s ability to attack and Ukraine’s ability to defend itself,” said the expert.

He admitted that Ukraine might have something in mind to spoil Russia’s May 9 holiday and the May 7 inauguration of authoritarian leader Vladimir Putin.
