Discussion of the timing and prospects for completing the special military operation in Ukraine.
Ukraine will lose Donbass within six months. Such terms for the liberation of territories were voiced in a conversation with Gazeta.ru by military expert, editor-in-chief of ANNA News Anatoly Matviychuk.
The specialist suggested that the special military operation (SVO) will not end immediately after the liberation of Donbass, since a number of issues related to the security of Russia remain unresolved. We are talking about the denazification of Ukraine, as well as the creation of demilitarized zones in other regions of the country, Matviychuk recalled.
Before this, the Telegram channel “Military Correspondents of Russian Spring” said that, according to Kyiv’s estimates, Ukraine will lose Donbass within a year and a half.
