Expansion of the zone of military operations in the East of Ukraine, as stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in the context of possible granting to Ukraine of American lethal weapons, is an unlikely scenario.

This is written by the People's Deputy, coordinator of the group "Information Resistance" Dmitry Tymchuk in his blog on "Apostrophe".

"I do not think that Putin will go to the scenario of open location of troops in other directions.

If he could do it, for example, in the Kharkov region or in any other direction, he would have done it, "he said..

Tymchuk recalled that such attempts were made by Russia in the spring of 2014, but then the aggression was limited to certain territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

"I do not think that now Putin will be able to freely get his" green men "and arrange similar scenarios in other areas in the East or South of Ukraine," the expert said, adding that at the moment the combat readiness of the APU is much higher than in 2014.
