Although the possibility of the Russian Federation was spoken by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he warned not Ukrainians. Media NV told the situation on the northern border of Ukraine near the Kiev region. Zhirokhov explained that in order to assess the threat to Kiev should be weighing the experience of Russian offensive in 2022 and the situation at the front in 2025.
According to him, the accumulation of a contingent of 100-150 thousand soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is clearly not the forces that are enough for a new attack. This is evidenced by the Kremlin failure in the first weeks of the invasion. In addition, there is a lack of armored vehicles and staff lack on the front today.
The expert noted that during the fighting in Ukraine the Armed Forces "was" grounded "by elite troops of the Russian Federation, and in addition to them - and former prisoners, in mobilized. In his opinion, Zelensky's statement is not about the threat to Kiev, but that you need to find arguments to continue European assistance. "I am attributed to the fact that our political top is trying to find some arguments for Europe for further support of Ukraine.
Therefore, it is not necessary to expect that the former" Zecs "and mobilized for many millions will be able to step in Kiev fully," the expert said . The NV interlocutor also suggested paying attention to the slow and difficult promotion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Donetsk region.

It is from the field of fiction," Zhirokhov said. It should be noted that on February 15, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported at the Munich Security Conference on 15 divisions of Russian soldiers with a total number of 150 thousand, who are preparing to transfer to Belarus. The president explained that the Kremlin head threatens Europe, NATO countries - Poland or the Baltic States, or Kiev.
In view of this, the politician suggested that Europeans create their own army to protect against the aggressor. Meanwhile, in December 2024, Newsweek researched the possible directions of the new offensive of the Russian Federation. One of the directions is the Baltic countries, of which Lithuania is especially at risk because it borders simultaneously with Belarus and Kaliningrad region.
In addition, the bulk of Russia and Kaliningrad are connected by the Suven Corridor and the Kremlin is interested that it was not a thin thread, but full control. In December 2023, Bild journalists, citing sources in intelligence, reported that the Russian Federation was preparing to attack Europe in the winter of 2024 or in 2025.
