"This is only the beginning": As Kursk Operation changed the war in Ukraine
According to the Head of Foreign Intelligence Service in 2005–2010, the Army General Mykola Malomuzha, the Ukrainian command proposed alternative and non -standard models of asymmetrical actions. He reported this in an interview with the Observer. "I believe that this is only the beginning of a change in the Armed Forces strategy. Russia imposes a strategy for long -term war, depletion of our resources and weakening the support of the Allies.
But the leadership of our Armed Forces proposed alternative, non -standard models of asymmetric actions," Mykola Lightmuzh said. According to him, it is about the task of strikes in the territory of the Russian Federation, the preparation of strategic attacks in temporarily occupied territories. He believes that the true art of war is small means to act effectively against Russians that exceed the number. "Finally we went to this comprehensive strategy. Its start is Kursk.
Of course, without continuation, without other operations in the territory of the Russian Federation, in the Bryansk, Belgorod regions, without strategic strikes in the occupied territories of the east or south of Ukraine there will be no strategic change. But we are They have already started this work and have shown that they were able to implement offensive operations, " - said Lightmark.
He noted that the Russian leadership failed with the concept that it would not allow the Ukrainian military to enter its territory. Yes, the enemy showed weakness of the military character - he could not create foci of confrontation, as a result, the invaders were captured and fled. We will remind, on August 22 in the media reported that the Russian command made a decision not to transfer significant forces from the eastern front to the Kursk region. The enemy decided to fight on two fronts.
