Consequences of hostilities in Kharkiv
NEW YORK (77 WABC) — A major victory for Ukraine’s military forces. The head of Ukraine’s defense intelligence agency Gen. Kyrylo Budanov says Russian military forces have failed to take Ukraines capital city of Kiev.
Budanov says it’s now impossible for the Russian army to overthrow the Ukrainian government. Ukraine officials say Putin’s war is now focused on the south and the east of the country.
“There is reason to believe that he is considering a ‘Korean’ scenario for Ukraine,” Budanov told CNN. “That is, [Russian forces] will try to impose a dividing line between the unoccupied and occupied regions of our country. In fact, it is an attempt to create North and South Korea in Ukraine.”
Budanov said Russia remained intent on establishing a land corridor from the Russian border to Crimea, and said he expected to see an attempt to unite Russian-occupied territories into a single entity.
Missile strikes by Russian forces continued across Ukraine Sunday night. Meanwhile, a new round of talks between the two dies is planned in Istanbul turkey.
