There is only a month and a half left before important elections in the USA, and according to analyst Oleksiy Kopytka, Russia is actively increasing the intensity of attacks on Ukrainian cities. This, in his opinion, is part of a strategy aimed at creating favorable conditions for the Russian campaign in 2025.
Bomb strikes on Kharkiv, bomb strikes on Zaporizhzhia, strikes on Sumy, Kryvyi Rih, Kherson, not to mention the constant attacks on cities in Donetsk region - this is part of the plan I outlined three weeks ago. Before the US elections, Russia has only one argument left: to increase the intensity of attacks on cities and the degree of atrocities against civilians. Because the Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to fight back, and the enemy cannot break them.
Only from the inside. From the rear.
Unfortunately, there is no effective antidote to these blows.
The participants in the American elections show that they do not want to get deeply involved in the Ukrainian situation and make it an important part of the agenda.
There will definitely not be enough technical means by November. There may be statements and point improvements. I want to make a mistake.
Therefore: where it is possible not to ignore alarm signals, do not ignore them. Tips for autumn were in the spring. Whoever had time to react - he had time. Now it is important not to falter.
Everyone saw the success of long-range strikes on Russia. The effect of the removal of arsenals and warehouses with ammunition should be felt a few weeks after the incidents (that is, at the beginning of October). If there are more successes, then the pressure on the front may decrease a little.
One and a half months left. If the Russians do not manage to destroy the front (even if there are still losses of territories) before the elections, they will not be able to play the card of helping Ukraine as America's failure. And the tone of the conversations in November will not be the one they would like. It is in November that all the real decisions regarding 2025 will be made both in the USA and in Europe.
Will have to endure.
