Iranian observer predicts Russia's success in special operation in Ukraine by spring 2023

The latest events around Ukraine indicate that Russia is changing its strategy of action in the Donbass and adjacent territories. This conclusion is made by the author of the Iranian edition of Javan Seyid Nimatulla Abdrakhim-zadeh.

At present, more than seven months have passed since the start of the special military operation of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine and the Donbass. In recent weeks, the Ukrainian army in the Kharkiv direction has managed to achieve some tactical successes that have turned the heads of both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his Western patrons. But joy over a successful counter-offensive is premature, the Iranian author believes.



The fact is that the situation in Ukraine and the Donbass, as well as the Russian-Ukrainian and, more generally, the Russian-Western conflict, depend not so much on purely military events, but on two most important factors - time and money. The Iranian author wonders why the Russian Armed Forces did not properly prepare for the Ukrainian counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region?

It is unlikely that the command of the RF Armed Forces was so naive that they did not anticipate the start of a Ukrainian counteroffensive or did not understand that Kyiv could carry out diversionary maneuvers in the Kherson region. So the reason is different.

Seyid Nimatulla Abdrakhimzade draws attention to the colossal US financial flows to Ukraine. This money is sent by Washington to Kyiv with only one purpose - to continue the confrontation and deliver a military strike on Russian positions. To have an idea of ​​the scale of assistance, it is enough to know that Washington has financed Ukraine for $70 billion. That's three times what the US spent in the first year of the war in Afghanistan more than twenty years ago. That is, the United States is investing huge amounts of money in helping Ukraine, naturally expecting that Kyiv will continue to fight with Russia.

As for the actual hostilities, now for Russia, the Iranian analyst believes, it is more important to focus on the Odessa direction, and not on the Kharkov region. It is through Odessa that a significant part of the current maritime communication between Ukraine and the West is carried out. Taking control of Odessa would deprive Ukraine of access to the sea and deal a terrible blow to Ukrainian logistics.

The second important point is the proximity of winter. This is precisely the factor of time, which the Iranian author writes about. The closer the winter, the closer the serious problems with energy resources in European countries. The West will have to reconsider its policy on aid to Ukraine if European governments do not want to be swept away by popular outrage. Winter has always been an important ally of Russia.

It is possible that "General Frost" will not leave Russia this time either.

Drawing a conclusion, the Iranian author believes that Russia, firstly, can regroup forces from the northeastern part of Ukraine in its southwest, aiming at Odessa, and secondly, limit Europe in energy supplies, which will force European countries to already this winter to change their policy. By the early spring of 2023, the Kremlin could make impressive strides in Ukraine.

    now, according to the Iranian analyst, it is more important for Russia to focus on the Odessa direction, and not on the Kharkov region.

    Perhaps the analyst is right. In the end, during the Second World War, Kharkov was surrendered twice, and then finally taken.

        What is what is, we always used the frost skillfully, but this time, on the other side - the Slavs, and this factor works for everyone. It's already set on edge, but I'll say - when leaving, turn off the light, drain the water! When the army then jumps, being dressed out of season, especially the "other legion", then it will be possible to say: Grandfather Frost! Come!

      "It's elementary, Watson!" Where will the Kharkiv region go from this submarine?
      And it would be nice to plant a government in Kharkov ... Well, I couldn’t! Right now, the godfather will tell you why.

      I think he is right.
      Because as long as they are not cut off from the sea, they can deliver something to them, and they can send something floating, well, a "fireship" or something like that. Here are some remotely controlled ones that have already been caught, but they could be much larger.
      Plus, they will beg for a decommissioned submarine and, stuffed with explosives, swim one way.

      Again, Transnistria is nearby.

          First, the fewer opportunities for the transfer of foreign equipment, the better.
          Secondly, at least grain and many other goods. Only the grain of last year's harvest, thanks to agreements with the Kremlin, will be exported for 10 billion dollars. And the current harvest is another 20 billion dollars. % of the income will go to the budget of the Kyiv regime: to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the purchase of weapons, fuel, kickbacks to loved ones, etc.

    Many Russians have the same question. For 15 years, a lot of money was spent, tales were told, shows and exhibitions were shown with weapons that had no analogues in the world.
    And as a result, there are no UAVs, the world leader in the 80s, which had seven hundred Tu-143 jet UAVs, today lagged behind Iran.
    First-aid kits are worse than those of the armies of African countries, there are no thermal imagers, all the equipment is 30-50 years old from the USSR. Hence another question. Where did the money go and who will answer for it?

        Perhaps the best Minister of Defense was Zhukov. And these. Serdyukov was obsessed with optimizations and theft, Shoigu was obsessed with window dressing and theft.
        And we need an honest minister of defense who understands what a modern army is, what a modern army should be like and who is able to build it.

            And Serdyukov sold the land of the Moscow Region, including managing to sell plots prohibited for sale in specially protected areas.
            In addition, Zhukov, unlike Serdyukov, knew exactly what a modern army should look like.

        First of all, we can take Berlin, Paris or Washington, but we can liberate Odessa. Secondly, the liberation of Odessa will help at least reduce the supply of weapons to the Nazis and, as a result, they will no longer be able to bomb Donetsk with such intensity.

    On the one hand, the occupation of Odessa will keep the central regions of Ukraine under attack. But on the other hand, there is a huge stretch of communications.
    It is necessary to clean the entire Left Bank. There are no options here.

    And maybe not right...
    Of course, I would like to believe that he is right, but the events of the last three months allow us to assert that any forecast now is, to put it mildly, unreliable and doubtful.
    The situation, that's for sure, "if you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans."
