The Russian Federation did not succeed in blitzkrieg with an attack on Ukraine, and the aggressor country does not have a coherent strategy, said Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the presidential office. He explained Russian tactics in the war unleashed against Ukraine.
" Viscous positional battles on all front lines. Creation of local boilers for civilians. Aimed strikes on objects where civilians are hiding. Maximum delay in decisions on humanitarian corridors. Active informational attempts to destabilize public opinion in our country. provoke internal conflicts. There is no blitzkrieg, much less a coherent strategy in Russia. Therefore, the tactics of the Russian Federation now look extremely disgusting, ”Podolyak wrote on Telegram..
He added that the key blows of the enemy are directed exclusively against the civilian population.. Armed Forces of Ukraine, as noted by the adviser to the head of the OPU, the occupiers are afraid of panic. From here, according to him, new tactical elements of the “Russian geniuses of military battles” flow:.
viscous positional battles on all front lines. Due to constant quantitative pressure. The more manpower, the better.. The death rate of the enemy's own military personnel does not care;
creation of local boilers for civilians. Aimed bombing or rocket strikes on objects where civilians are hiding en masse. The basic task is to shock the population as much as possible, cause a feeling of horror and provoke a large-scale panic.;
maximum delay in decisions on humanitarian corridors. Constant deception with an attempt to carry out one or another redeployment and shelling of peaceful evacuation caravans.
According to Podolyak, it is important to understand that the Russian military, with exceptional hatred and absolutely no hiding, commit violence against civilians everywhere.. All these are crimes against humanity.. But such a demonstrative contempt for the rules of war suggests that the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation still lacks adequacy and at least a short planning horizon..
“In parallel with this, the Russians are making active informational attempts to destabilize public opinion in our country.. provoke internal conflicts. Hence the constant “leaks” to foreign media of various plans, ideas, including Russian “negotiating positions,” said the adviser to the head of the OPU.
According to Podolyak, today the basic task of the Russian enemy is obvious - by inducing fear among civilians, panic, as well as through a massive false propaganda campaign, to provoke an internal administrative crisis..

Recall that earlier the Financial Times published, according to the interlocutors participating in the negotiations, a plan for a peace treaty, which Ukraine and Russia allegedly already outlined.. The plan consists of 15 points regarding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, neutrality and the status of the Russian language.
In turn, Podolyak said that the Financial Times published a draft of a peace treaty demonstrating the request of the Russian side. At the same time, Ukraine has its own positions.
