I hope everyone understands by now that if Vladimir Putin defeat Ukraine, he will not stop here, he will move on. And he will move forward with the help of the Ukrainians, who will shackle. I do not rule out that there are sentiments among Ukrainians for “revenge against the Europeans who abandoned us”.
This is what the aviation expert and former test engineer in the design bureau “Antonov” said. Konstantin Krivolap before the UNIAN agency. According to him, NATO needs Ukraine much more than the other way around, because Ukraine is currently protecting NATO.
„Can the most advanced special forces of the NATO army do what our guys are now doing on the front? Never...“, pointed out Konstantin Krivolap.
He was commenting on reports that the US had asked Kiev to stop attacking oil refineries deep inside Russian territory. “Despite all the statements of the Americans, I think that such attacks should continue. The destruction of Russian refineries has nothing to do with oil prices on the world market. Such statements are most likely related to the policy of Sullivan (National Security Adviser to the President of the USA) that there is no need to irritate Russia”, the military expert said.
„If you look at the total production capacity of the Russian enterprises and facilities that we hit, it turns out that more than 50% of the Russian oil industry was hit. This does not mean that the capacity is reduced by 50% because the level of damage is different in all these refineries. But the fact that 50% of refineries are covered is a fact. The latest figures indicate a 15% drop in production. Now they compensate for this with gasoline from Belarus and Kazakhstan”, he explained.
Krivolap called on NATO to provide Kiev with F-16 fighter jets and Patriot systems. He also stated that Vladimir Putin was very upset about the sinking of Russian ships in the Black Sea. “Huge ships that are the pride of the navy, the pride of the nation, have been destroyed by a motorcycle-powered drone. It's hard to come to terms with this... Putin is very upset, Krivolap said.
