Russian President Vladimir Putin is betting on "rocking" of Ukraine from within. For his own purposes, he will try to use the approaching anniversary of the tragedy in the Odessa Trade Union House and Victory Day.

This opinion was voiced by the military expert and publicist Alexei Arestovich to the website "Apostrophe", commenting on intelligence information about the forthcoming anti-Ukrainian provocations in the Odessa region.

"May 9 was one of the patriotic holidays, which was the main system-forming myth of the Soviet Union and modern Russia. May 2 in Odessa - everything is clear here - this is a painful date, "Odessa Khatyn" and all that ... Therefore, in Odessa for the May holidays, of course, there will be traffic, "- said the expert.

Also, in his opinion, should be "guaranteed" to expect provocations and attempts to shake the situation in Kharkiv and in the ATU zone.

"The Kremlin is put on the internal swing of the situation in Ukraine, because at the front we are stronger, even in numbers. On special feats, as, for example, the capture of militants Mariupol, there will be no speech. They understand that this can not be done, there will be huge losses. This is most likely a demonstration that nothing has come to an end, that Ukraine is still full of pro-Russian forces, Russian banners, a demonstration of an attempt to "return to the composition of Russia" Odessa, Kharkov and Zaporozhye, or at least a way to show that in Ukraine There are a lot of Russian people who can be "defended" in every way, - writes Arestovich.

"You can expect the swing of the situation through the media. And as far as the need for media events to translate into a practical plane, will be evident from the results of these media activities, most likely. Immediately they will not go to aggravation, to terrorist attacks, "he predicted..

As reported by the "Observer", earlier the Security Service prevented in Odessa provocations financed by Russia.
