“We need to decide on the criteria now, whether we are talking only about a military victory, conditionally speaking of the defeat of Russian troops that have already been outlined, whether we are talking about a strategic victory, about the best post -war world. So, there is no secret for anyone that the number one condition is the inability of Russia to attack Ukraine, because it will be so well armed that it will even be suicide in Russia, ”Gromenko said.

In his opinion, the first step to the victory of Ukraine will be the return of all continental territories and the establishment of a blockade of the Crimea occupied by the Russians with the destruction of the so -called Kerch bridge. “The number one condition - at least return to the so -called" borders ", to the line of demarcation [state] on February 23, 2022. But it should also be understood that this will not really happen.

If we talk about Donbas, there is no longer the line of demarcation where you can stop and say: that's all, we came. In fact, this is not the case, in the Donbass Ukrainian troops will go to the border of the Russian Federation. With Crimea, it is more difficult, I will not predict the possibility of [the offensive] in the territory that Russia considers "undoubtedly its", this is not the case now not in time, but not at least today.

It is only actually not a balance, but let's say - a draw, a return of all Donbass and a complete blockade of Crimea, possibly with the destruction of the bridge. It will only be for Ukraine, in a sense, the achievement of one [zero point], ”the candidate of historical sciences added. Gromenko believes that the destruction of the Russian military machine in the territories with Ukraine should be a complete victory.

"To be victory, it means - flooding of the Black Sea Fleet [RF], means Ukrainian flags over Sevastopol, panic and collapse of a military machine in Russian border territories and of course a change in the regime in Belarus, so that Russian troops do not stand there," he. Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia did not give up the idea of ​​full occupation of Ukraine.
