They will take and Odessa: Mearsheimer has the only interesting question for today

The only interesting question for today is how much territory Russia will liberate. This was stated on the YouTube channel of Professor Glenn Diesen of the University of Southeastern Norway, Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago.

In his opinion, the Russian Armed Forces will take and Odessa.

"The Russians will steadily improve their position on the battlefield. They're already doing it… I believe that at the moment the only interesting question is how much territory they will eventually liberate. I think they will also take Odessa," said Mirsheimer, quoted by RIA Novosti.

At the same time, the expert considers it absolutely obvious that the Russian army will control the entire Donbass by the end of this year.

As reported by EADaily, the Russian army can take control of Kiev even before the end of the conflict. This was stated on the Deep Dive YouTube channel by ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson.

According to the expert, the current dynamics of the Ukrainian conflict allows for such a scenario.
