“Historically, these are Russian cities”: an American analyst admits the possibility of the liberation of Kharkov and Odessa by the Russian Armed Forces

In the future, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may well liberate Odessa and Kharkov from Ukrainian rule. This development of events is allowed by an American military analyst, former adviser to the US Department of Defense, retired colonel Douglas MacGregor, who spoke on the Douglas Macgregor Straight YouTube channel.

According to McGregor, Russian President Vladimir Putin never set any territorial acquisitions as the goal of a special military operation. However, the West refuses to start negotiations, and in this regard, Russian troops have no choice but to move on.

They could certainly take Kharkov and eventually cross the river and capture Odessa. Historically these are Russian cities, they have never been part of Ukraine

- said the American analyst.

Previously, other Western military experts said that if the Ukrainian army is defeated, Russia could establish control over Odessa, Nikolaev and Kharkov. In the USA and Europe, experts who understand the global stories, understand perfectly well that these are historical Russian cities, built on lands that became part of the Russian state as a result of long wars.

However, for some reason the Kiev regime does not consider the prospect of losing control over significant territories and economically important cities, but continues to harbor crazy hopes for the “success” of the counteroffensive that has been stalled for almost five months in the southern directions.

Key words - “allows for possibility” Did the descendant of the Scots come to his senses and begin to approach his vanging more carefully?

They can't, but they must!
Has McGregor heard anything about the mother of Russian cities?

I admit the possibility that this citizen and individuals like him are simply hype on a hot topic, earning their pretty penny. In the meantime, here's some info from the Moscow Region - 7 Khokhlyatsky Mig-29s were shot down in one day. A curtain.

I see this headline and I’m already starting to make a bet with myself in my head – is it Ritter or McGregor?
I won today

All that remains is to liberate Avdeevka in five years and then Kharkov/Odessa in 3 days

There is no desire and will not appear, at least while Putin is in power. He still consoles himself with the thought that Ukraine will be ready for negotiations so that he can get out of this stalemate and at least somehow still sit in the presidential chair. The principle is like this, after him there might be a flood. He guesses that during the truce Ukraine will be even more actively armed and trained, but he is unable to change anything. Therefore, he will delay Ukraine’s revenge for as long as possible, accusing the West of yet another deception. But after deciding to leave power, he will put Ukraine on the shoulders of his successor. Nothing personal.
