The scenarios for the Russian plans in the war in Ukraine were presented by the SKAI journalist Giannis Paliouras.
Russia currently holds part of eastern and much of southern Ukraine, with a thorn in its side. Mariupol, which is limited to a specific point, at the Azofstal plant. According to one scenario, Russia is holding the territories it has occupied, and with the complete occupation of Mariupol, it will declare victory with the liberation of the Russian-speakers and the “de-Nazification” of the region.
But there is a scenario with Moscow having set much bigger goals, occupying the area between Izium and Donetskthat is, with the aim of the Russians closing the area where they exist today 60,000 Ukrainian soldiers in fortifications that until now “hold”.
The third scenario of strategic goals, however, goes far beyond. According to this scenario, the Russians are advancing westwards, occupying a large part of eastern Ukraine, targeting Dnipro and Zaporizhia, “cutting” a large “slice” of Ukraine. Odessa is a scenario that goes further, and the Russians have given it a name: It is the
“Novorossia”, a section that will start from Kharkov, will pass through Dnipro and Zaporizhia, and will reach Odessa. There are eight urban centers, each with its own flag and called the “People’s Republic”, such as Donetsk and Luhansk.
“In about two weeks it will be clarified what the Russians will do. “If they have the military capability and dynamics, they will occupy as much territory as possible,” commented Giannis Paliouras.
