“Ukraine must carefully prepare for a big offensive, otherwise it will be very difficult to take Crimea,” Vakhtang Kapanadze, former chief of the General Staff, adviser to the Geocase analytical center, told Palitranews.
According to Vakhtang Kapanadze, the winter period will not be calm, and both sides will try to strengthen their forces.
The former chief of the Georgian General Staff says that it will be difficult for Ukraine to take Crimea on the move, since it does not have a naval force.
“It will be very difficult to take Crimea, the direction of Zaporozhye, Mariupol is very important for Ukraine. Ukraine can launch an attack in this direction. As for Crimea, Ukraine today does not have a fleet, and it will be difficult to take Crimea directly.
The Russians will try to increase the pressure on Bakhmut, where they have some success. And the Ukrainians can use the Russian redeployment to hit the weak spots where the army has withdrawn from.
I think the winter period will not be decisive, the spring period will be decisive. Both sides will prepare for the winter campaign. Of course, this will not be a quiet period, it will be very tense, although both sides will try to strengthen their forces. “Ukraine needs a certain pause to prepare for the big blow,” says Vakhtang Kapanadze.
