Russia is launching a simultaneous attack on Ukraine from three points, following the “green light” given by Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading the country.
Military operations are in full swing from northern Ukraine to Kharkiv, from the east to Mariupol (Donetsk) and from the northeast via Belarus to Kiev.
The Ukrainian border guards announced that in addition to Russia and Belarus, an attack was launched by the annexed Crimea. In particular, attacks on border guards’ units and checkpoints are underway using artillery, other military equipment and small arms in the Ukrainian regions of Lugansk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Zhytomyr.
There have been reports earlier of operations and amphibious landings from the port of Odessa, which are denied by the Ukrainian army.
Ukraine does not have great military capabilities
THE General Lambros Tzoumis He stressed on SKAI TV that no one can draw safe conclusions that Putin wants to reach with the surprise operation and if he aims at Kiev and to overthrow the Ukrainian government.
He explained, however, that Russian forces would first try to attack the air defense systems and damage communications, so that the country could surrender without resistance.
Ukraine does not have large military capabilities, it does not have a navy, and its air force is very limited, so “we can not expect serious resistance.”
