Russia may open new front - German general

This was stated by the Inspector General of the German Armed Forces, General Eberhard Zorn.

"Russia has a lot of shells. Some of them are outdated and inaccurate, but that's why they cause serious destruction of civilian infrastructure. They use 40-60 thousand artillery shells per day", the general said.

Therefore, according to Zorn, "in military terms, Russia is very capable of spreading the conflict in the region. Another question is that this would be an extremely imprudent step for Russia".

He believes that, despite the war in Ukraine, "we should not underestimate the potential of the Russian ground forces to open a second theater of war".

"Militarily, Russia is very capable of spreading the conflict in the region. Another issue is that this would be an extremely imprudent step for Russia", the German general believes.

Evaluating the prospects for the development of the war in Ukraine, Zorn expressed the opinion that Russia is not capable of a successful offensive deep into the rear of Ukraine, but instead is trying to seize the entire Donbas - although at the moment there is no military solution to the situation there.
