According to the assessment of the head of the cyber command, the Estonian colonel Kaupo Rosin, Ukraine will be able to push back the Russian troops from the right bank of the Dnipro in two months, and it may take several years to liberate the entire occupied territory.
He told about this on ETV.
Rosin commented on the offensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south of Ukraine.
"Now we can say that they have achieved tactical success. At the same time, they themselves declared that they are acting slowly and methodically, searching for the weak points of the Russian occupiers and putting pressure on these weak points," he said.
According to him, the Ukrainians are trying to exploit the weaknesses of the Russian army - logistics and management. Rosin considers this tactic the most expedient at the moment.
"For larger-scale offensives, you need very good armored forces, a large number of tanks, armored vehicles, with good control. In this case, you need to know where the enemy is. It seems that the Ukrainians have chosen the best tactics according to their capabilities. And now it seems to be working." - believes Rosin.
According to his assessment, if the Armed Forces can consolidate their success, they will be able to push the Russian troops from the western bank of the Dnipro in two months.
"We see that Ukrainians are liberating individual villages every day. Great victories could be the liberation of Kherson and, possibly, the capture of the dam in Nova Kakhovka," he added.
Rosin also noted that the current positional war and attacks on each other's defense lines could take several more months.
"I am optimistic that the Ukrainians will be able to push the Russian occupiers from the west bank of the Dnipro, but the front line is still very, very long. Bad weather is coming when neither side will probably be able to make much progress. To push the Russian occupiers out of the territory "Ukraine needs time and help from the West. This may take months and years," he concluded.
We will remind you that the head of the Intelligence Center of the Defense Forces of Estonia, Margo Grosberg, believes that the war in Ukraine will be static until spring.
