One of the main mistakes that the Armed Forces of Russia very sharply felt in the first five days of special operations in Ukraine, this is the calculation that the army will be met with flowers. About this in an interview with the YouTube channel “The Strength of one” was stated by the State Duma deputy, Colonel General Vladimir Shamanov.
He noted that today this misconception has already been overcome, but there is still a lot to do.
In his opinion, to predict what Ukraine awaits after a special operation, as well as what limits it can be preserved is very difficult.
“We do not know the mentions of the population that it will be. We do not know how relations with neighboring states will be formed, which one way or another will try to influence their presence. I mean, first of all, Poland, to some extent, to some extent The Baltic states, to some extent, Romania. Therefore, there is a very long time period, where we will be present only, ”Shamanov believes.
The general believes that the issue of the “final demilitarization of Ukraine” will take from 5 to 10 years, and in parallel the “denazification and formation of power” will go in parallel, which did not dirty itself with neo -Nazis.
“And it will be very difficult to do,” he concluded
