He said this on the air of the Espreso TV channel.

"The Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine is preparing for the worst scenarios, counting on the full mobilization resources of the Russian Federation. For Putin's government, people are nothing, it was and will be so. But the most important thing is that we have a plan to destroy the enemy, and this plan is already being implemented. The only thing we need, the only thing that stops our Defense Forces from conducting offensive operations is the tool. We need much more weapons. The sooner our partners provide us with the necessary number and types of weapons, the sooner we will proceed to large-scale operations to de-occupy our territory," Kuzan emphasized.

The military expert also added that the occupiers do not really need Donetsk, Crimea, or Luhansk.  They need to destroy Ukraine, destroy the Ukrainian nation, so the aggressor will not give up his plans.

"Everything else will be perceived as a defeat by the Russian society and elites. The mobilization capacity of the Russian Federation is 130-150 thousand people in addition to those that are already there. That is, 200 thousand people is what the military infrastructure of the Russian Federation, training bases and support can provide. Also, the Russians need time to remove ammunition from storage, it may be old, it still need to be prepared for use. The Russians will mobilize everyone they can in the Russian Federation. We need to prepare for a protracted war," Kuzan noted.
