The Israeli army does not rule out that the Russian Federation may try to seize Kyiv again. The local officer Yigal Levin, commenting on yesterday's statement by Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny, noted that there is nothing surprising in this, because the war is still going on.

During a conversation with journalists from Channel 24, he explained that for such an operation, the Russians need to gather several hundred thousand military personnel, for example, 200 thousand.

Recall that the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov believes that Russian troops will go on a new offensive in February.. At the same time, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny notes that it is not yet clear in which direction this will happen.. But he does not rule out that the occupiers will again try to capture Kyiv, starting the operation from Belarus..

It should be noted that in Ukraine, since the beginning of a full-scale war, it has never been completely ruled out that the Kremlin may launch a new operation in the north.. However, experts have always questioned the ability of the occupying forces (including the Belarusian army) to succeed during the second attempt to occupy the Ukrainian capital.. Even now, ISW analysts note that if Putin does go for it, he will fail again.. The fact is that in recent months the Armed Forces of Ukraine have significantly strengthened the defense in the north, while the Russian troops have greatly degraded.
