Kiev continues to prepare to repel "Russian aggression", the Ukrainian Defense Ministry is considering nine possible scenarios for the escalation of the conflict. This was stated by the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich.
According to a Ukrainian newsmaker who attended a meeting at the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the military is considering nine scenarios for the escalation of the conflict with Russia. Particular attention is paid to the option with a full-fledged invasion of the Russian army during the West-2021 exercises. In this case, it was decided to conduct their own exercises called "Joint Efforts-2021" just during the active phase of the Russian-Belarusian exercises.
Arestovich explained that the military is planning a response to the Russian invasion, which could occur in many directions, including Donbass, Crimea and even Odessa and Kherson. In the event that Russia nevertheless invades Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have a "hard time", but they will fulfill their task of repelling the aggression.
The scenarios are calculated. It cannot be said that we are ready for defense in all respects, but I think that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are capable of fulfilling their tasks of repelling aggression in all nine scenarios.
- said the adviser.
But Ukraine's partners from Lithuania do not see any additional threats in connection with the upcoming West-2021 exercises. As Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said, there are always certain risks during military exercises, but one should not expect security threats from Russian-Belarusian exercises, especially since they were planned for a long time.
