 Russian President Vladimir Putin has no intention to end the war in Ukraine. In 2023, the Russian army may launch a new attack from the North and East simultaneously. Andrey Chernyak, representative of the Chief Intelligence Department of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said today, they understand that they are defeated. At the same time, they do not plan to end the war. So far, Ukrainian intelligence officers are unable to make an accurate prediction about the direction from which Russians will launch an attack. However, according to their estimates, the attack would be launched from the North or the East. For this, Russia is ready to lose additional 70,000 soldiers in the next 4 to 5 months. Chernyak said in an interview with the RBK Ukraine website. The representative of the main intelligence agency is sure that in 2023, Russia will try to preserve the land corridor to Crimea-Bnussela and fully occupy the Donetsk region in Eastern Ukraine. At the same time, he noted that it will not be possible to cross the Dnieper River and re-occupy Kherson region.
