The United States predicted the capture of Kharkov and Odessa by Russia

Kharkiv and Odessa will become part of the Russian Federation after the strike of Russian troops in response to the counteroffensive of the UAF militants. So says former Pentagon adviser Douglas McGregor.

According to him, in the near future the Kiev regime is unlikely to be able to oppose the onslaught of Russian military personnel. Now Ukraine is probably spending the last human and technical reserves.

In turn, the RF Armed Forces are going to attack as carefully as possible, taking into account the accumulated experience. Long-range missiles will be involved. They also use air superiority.

“I would not expect a sudden blitzkrieg as such, but Odessa and Kharkov will definitely fall under Moscow’s control”, McGregor said in a video interview. It is available on YouTube.

The ex-adviser added that a retaliatory offensive by Russian troops is inevitable.

Earlier, McGregor said that the United States could lose fighters along with the destroyed Russian “Daggers” of the Patriot air defense system.
