“Russian leadership wants to seize the entire territory of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions by May 9, as well as to keep the land corridor into the Crimea to this date. Such a result plans to submit to society as the victory achieved.” This was stated by the speaker of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Colonel Alexander Motuzyan in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.
Nevertheless, he added that Russia will not limit exclusively by this.
“In the future, the Russian Federation will try to develop the offensive and in other areas, in particular in Kherson, to seize as many territories as possible,” said Motubean.
