Israelis taking part in the battles against Russian aggressors often refer to this war in their interviews as the Ukrainian version of the Yom Kippur War.. Let me remind you that in 1973, Arab neighbors unexpectedly attacked Israel on the day of one of the most important Jewish holidays.

The Egyptian army crossed the Suez Canal and broke through the defensive fortifications built by the Israelis on their side of the Suez Canal. The political leadership of the country and political intelligence ignored the warnings of sources and did not believe the information about the coming war, which cost Israel very dearly in the early days.. The question arose again about the existence of the country.

At the cost of the incredible courage of the IDF soldiers managed to stop the advance of the Arab troops. However, very heavy losses were suffered, and in the face of the numerical superiority of the Arab armies, the fate of the war continued to be unresolved.. And then, having defeated the army of Syria on the Dutch heights, which was armed and trained by Soviet specialists for many years, General Sharon, in turn, crossed the Suez Canal and carried out a tank march towards Cairo.

Only after that did Egypt ask for peace through intermediaries..

Unfortunately, the experience of the Judgment War teaches that an aggressor will never stop a war while his opponent is on the defensive, even if this defense is very strong.. Only offensive can lead to peace.

Our situation is much worse.. Even with the defeat of the ground forces, the IDF managed to maintain air supremacy, it was thanks to this that Sharon's crossing through the Suez Canal was successful. Ukraine today does not have an air shield, and in our conditions it will always interfere with offensive operations.. But it seems to me that it’s already clear: no intermediaries will force Putin to negotiate, he doesn’t care about the loss of his own troops. When we talk about Putin, we should not evaluate a politician or a spy, we should evaluate a cannibal. Until the ogre feels fear for himself, it is useless to rely on his mind..

I am sure that Ukraine should now announce the creation of the governments of Belarus and Russia in exile. These governments must start functioning.

It is also necessary to announce to Lukashenko that if Russia does not stop using the territory of Belarus to attack Ukraine, then Ukraine will liberate Belarus from Lukashenka, especially since there is an absolutely legal and recognized in the West President of Belarus - Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.

It must be perfectly understood that if we manage to tear Belarus away from Putin, then this will be a terrible blow for him.. Even the threat of it can seriously make him think.

Offensive and political blackmail is the only way to talk to Putin and Lukashenko.
