Putin is trapped: hostage to geography, HIMARS in south - international political scientist
International political scientist Volodymyr Volia believes that Putin can either stick to the Kherson direction and lose over time, or leave and lose as well
He shared his opinion with Espreso TV.
"The situation on the right bank of the Kherson region looks like a historical trap for Russia. In this part of Ukraine, Putin turned out to be a hostage of geography and HIMARS systems. He can no longer jump out of this trap. He has to either stick to this region and lose over time, or leave and lose as well. For Russia, the gradual beginning of the collapse of the right-bank Russian grouping of troops has begun," Volia emphasized.
According to the political scientist, the liberation of Vysokopillya is a landmark event.
"With the fall of the Russian defense in Vysokopillya, the front line begins to move from the North to the South, from Kryvyi Rih towards Kakhovka. Russia cannot escape from this trap. The trap is that Putin's war against Ukraine is a historical trap, and in this war, it was the Kherson bridgehead that became a military trap that would determine the state of the entire military campaign. It was the Kherson bridgehead that would make the biggest contribution to the demoralization of the Russian army," Volia emphasized.
