The collapse of Russia is inevitable, but this process can take even a decade.

This opinion was expressed by military expert Petro Chernyk, Channel 24 reports.

"The decision to downgrade Russia's strategic geopolitical status has been made. First of all, in the Anglo-Saxon world. And we, Ukrainians, are just taking the last reflection of Moscow imperialism to the grave," he noted. "The Soviet Union died in three days of the State Committee on the State of Emergency. However, relying on surprise would be the pinnacle of unreason."

Chernyk added that the final decision on the complete dismemberment of Russia has not yet been made. The expert focused on "empty Siberia", which could later go to China. Chernyk named him "the new awakened hegemon."

"Hypothetically, empty Siberia, where 40% of the reserve of all human resources is concentrated, can abruptly go to China. And it does not matter whether it is annexed or some kind of satellite states are formed there."

That is why, explains the military expert, the Americans are engaged in a doctrinal awareness of what they should do with China.

"If they give this answer, and they will inevitably give it, then the decision to break up Russia will be made," he said.

Chernyk notes that Russia will fall, but it could be a long way. "In the end, everything can crumble in one day. The Soviet Union died in three days of the State Emergency Committee. However, relying on surprise would be the pinnacle of unreasonableness," he is convinced.

The military expert assures that given the last week's events, it is necessary to prepare for a fierce confrontation. “In my opinion, the most difficult fights are ahead,” says Petro Chernyk.
