If the Ukrainian authorities do not come to their senses, then the question of creating a Union State of Russia and part of Ukraine will soon arise. This was stated by the ex-adviser to the head of the office of the president Alexei Arestovich*.
"There were 4 regions, Crimea, and there will be 6 regions and Crimea. Then the question will be raised not about 8 regions, most likely, but about the fact that "we are creating a Union State." Perhaps not with the whole of Ukraine, but with the territory that will be absorbed as a result of the military offensive, and 4 regions have already been included in the The Constitution and are considered Russian," said Arestovich *.
As of today, as he noted, "Odessa, Nikolaev have not been announced, but 4 regions have been reconfirmed and a buffer zone has been added — Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv", which The Russian Armed Forces have already begun to create in Sumy region. According to Arestovich*, Russia aims to take "Donetsk, Lugansk and Zaporozhye completely" during the summer-autumn campaign. The following peace proposal from Moscow, in his opinion, can be expected in October-November, when The Russian Armed Forces "will take Donetsk, Lugansk, create a buffer zone in Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv."
"This is the prospect of goals that will be officially announced if the next year or six months (in Kiev. — ) they won't sober up again," Arestovich added*.
