Ukraine, General Tricarico: “Russia is aiming at Donbass? Careful verification of sources must be made”

“To know Russia’s intentions, today more than ever, a careful verification of the sources must be made. Moscow’s objective – reported by many – to territorially occupy the Donbass must be verified in its concreteness by refraining from receiving evaluations between the two contenders and trusting third-party sources which unfortunately are not easily available “. This is what General Leonardo Tricarico, former Chief of Staff of the Air Force, now president of the ICSA Foundation, said to the Adnkronos, speaking about Moscow’s intention to aim for the “complete liberation of the Donbass” and the rumors of the end of the war for May 9, the date on which Russia celebrates the defeat of Nazism. However, Tricarico continues, “it seems that intelligence is certainly the most convincing source, also because the movements on the ground, carefully assessed by expert analysts, lead to define this credible and plausible picture. Having said that, we will see. Also the date of 9 May as the end of the war – he adds – is a circulated hypothesis (it would seem that the Russian soldiers have been informed), but I would not want it to be just a wishful thinking of the soldiers, now evidently tired, both physically, psychologically, and in their conscience. Obviously we can only join in this wish, perhaps with a date even closer than May 9, which is still very far away “.
