And called the situation at the front a failure for Russia.

Former Defence Minister of the so-called DPR Igor Strelkov (Girkin), who was found guilty of public calls for extremist activity, sent his comrades a letter from the colony. In it, the terrorist sums up this year of war, since, according to him, "there is very little time left before the autumn off-road conditions begin, and, in all likelihood, the summer-autumn campaign can be considered over."

Girkin writes that in fact Russia suffered a strategic military failure this summer/autumn.

"We failed to implement the plan for a broad offensive on Kharkiv, for which forces, resources, and reserves had been prepared for a year. And then we missed a blow, although not too strong, but very painful, with the transfer of ground operations to our own territory. But the most important thing is that we lost time," he writes.

Girkin predicts that after the "humiliating slap on the nose near Kursk" there will soon be new ones, which could lead to Belarus being drawn into the war.

"Unfortunately, this is practically inevitable. It is difficult to say how soon this will happen (I do not have access to the GRU and SVR intelligence reports in VK-5), but we can cautiously assume that Belarus, as well as (possibly) Moldova, could be drawn into the war next year. The participation of Poland and Romania is not excluded (although without a declaration of war, I believe)."
