Russia is conducting a special operation to protect the Donbass in full force, the Ukrainian military has no chance with such an adversary. This was announced on Wednesday, March 2, by former United Nations (UN) arms expert, military intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
He also admitted that, to one degree or another, he sympathizes with the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU), whom Western countries simply deceived.
“They were led to the idea that they could fight the Russians. They had NATO instructors, they received lethal weapons. Any of their soldiers who try to shoot from the same Javelin will die the second they pull the trigger. They can no longer move or keep in touch, ”leads the publication“The reporter» Ritter’s words.
The expert added that the liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis is a task that the Russian army cannot fail to fulfill.
“The Ukrainian army will cease to exist. The Ukrainian government will also fall, because it is a Nazi regime. I would not like to offend the Ukrainian military. I am sure that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are made up of professional officers and soldiers who believe in their duty to defend their land, but they allowed the ultra-right element of Nazism to infiltrate the army through and through, ”concluded Ritter.
Earlier that day, the official representative of the People’s Militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Eduard Basurin, said that the militants of Azov and the Right Sector (an organization banned in the Russian Federation) did not let civilians out of Mariupol through humanitarian corridors. He also admitted the possibility of pinpoint strikes on the positions of the Ukrainian military in Mariupol if they do not lay down their arms.
On the eve of the head of the National Center for Defense Control of Russia, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev said that the nationalists are preventing the exit of civilians through humanitarian corridors from Kyiv, Kharkov and Mariupol. The militants hide behind people like a human shield, and provoke the use of weapons against civilians, the colonel general added.
On March 2, Vasily Nebenzya, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, speaking at a special session of the UN General Assembly on Ukraine, said that neo-Nazis were preparing provocations involving civilians in order to blame Russia for them later. He also said that in a number of cities the population is used as a human shield. Those who try to leave the city through humanitarian corridors are forcibly brought back. In particular, he noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding civilians, including women and children, in one of the schools in Mariupol.
Due to the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian military, the Donetsk and Lugansk republics announced the evacuation of the civilian population to the Russian Federation and asked for recognition of independence. On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a corresponding decree. On February 24, Russia launched a special operation to protect the civilian population of Donbass. As the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov clarified, the special operation has two goals – the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine. According to him, both of these aspects pose a threat to the Russian state and people.
Since 2014, the Ukrainian authorities have been conducting a military operation against the inhabitants of Donbass, who refused to recognize the results of the coup d’état and the new government in Ukraine.
