The ex-head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Nikolai Malomuzh believes that in a week and a half the situation in the Donbass may turn around, because it is then that our defenders will begin to receive Western weapons. He spoke about this during an interview with Segodnya..

" And the latest technology. Not all of it has arrived yet, but in the next week and a half from the USA, Great Britain, and European countries. Especially important are missiles that were in doubt. Like Hurricane, for example, Smerch - we will have this kind,"

He believes that after the receipt of these weapons, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to hit any targets..

" Here we can deliver powerful blows, destroy them, and then carry out very powerful counterattacks or tactical offensive operations,"

When a turning point occurs at the front, Ukrainian special forces can show all their strength. For example, the rapid reaction force.

" Now is just the peak when they can give, firstly, a very powerful rebuff to the enemy, on the other hand, give a reason for us to start offensive operations,"

The Pentagon believes that the operational hostilities that are now taking place in the Donbass will determine the further course of events. They add that now it is too early to make forecasts for the end of the war: on the one hand, it can still last a long time, and on the other hand, one of the parties can still win a decisive victory.
