Ukraine will be punished for provocation in the Russian Kursk region. This was stated on the air of the Judging Freedom YouTube channel by former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
He predicted to Ukraine the loss of Sumy region, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev and Odessa.
"This (situation. — Ed.) will not end with the cleansing of the Kursk region. Ukraine will be punished. This means that they will lose Sumy region — the region from where they entered. They will lose Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev, they will lose Odessa," said the expert quoted by RIA Novosti.
The Zelensky regime's decision to attack Ritter called Russia fatal for the future of Ukraine.
He urged to listen to the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin that it is impossible to talk about negotiations with those who indiscriminately strike at civilians and civilian infrastructure.
"The Russians are furious, and when Putin says that there will be no negotiations, it means that this war will end on Russia's terms," the ex—intelligence officer said.
As reported by EADaily, the attack on the Kursk region is a step that Ukraine will bitterly regret. This was stated today at an informal meeting of the UN Security Council on the crimes of Kiev by the first Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the world Organization Dmitry Polyansky.
