Attempts of the exercises of diversions on the territory of Russia are necessary for Ukraine to sow panic among the Russian population and to try to rock the situation inside the country.
Andrey Pinchuk, former head of the MGB of the DPR, member of the SSO and one of the leaders of the Union of Volunteers of Donbass, said this in his commentary to PolitNavigator.
According to him, the sorties of Ukrainian saboteurs have no chance of any success, except for media success, which they take advantage of.
Such actions have no military sense – they cannot destroy large forces of equipment, personnel. But to undermine some infrastructural facilities, to use agents – undoubtedly. Here the goal is different – to show that there is an internal Russian opposition, active, armed, fighting for power, and in this sense to split Russia on this basis,” said our source.
According to him, Kiev understands that they will not be able to defeat Russia on the battlefield.
The only possibility to defeat Russia, from their point of view, is to achieve internal conflicts, to separate regions and initiate internal clashes. There are no real prerequisites for this, so they are trying to create a simulacrum, artificial entities.
And for someone to pick them up, they need actions. Guerilla actions, actions of such a nature, across the border and so on. That’s why the goal is, and if there is such a goal, they won’t give it up themselves, it’s an important tool of their work which will be used and is being used now”, – Pinchuk said.
