The armed forces of Ukraine are capable of ending the war unleashed by Russia in months, not years.

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov on his YouTube channel, named the main condition for such a development of events, assessing the chances for the liberation of all Ukrainian territories.

“We have all the prospects. Especially if we are given weapons, then we can generally work miracles and end this war not in years but in months. But the question is the availability of weapons,” he said.

Zhdanov noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are capable of liberating all the territories of Ukraine.

"We can develop the offensive not only in these areas (Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Kherson). If it is and will be successful, then I think we can achieve much more," the expert added.

"In 2014, we abandoned the armed confrontation with the Russian Federation. We took the diplomatic path, signed Minsk-2. This led us to this dead end when we were tied hand and foot in terms of a military solution to this issue. In the meantime, there was a political drag ", the Russian Federation was gathering the army and building fortifications. And we disengaged troops immediately in 2015, then returned to disengagement in 2019. And all the time we were the initiators of the ceasefire unilaterally for eight years. Well, here we are," - says Zhdanov.

• On August 29, the Armed Forces of Ukraine broke through the first line of defense of the Russians in the Kherson region.

• It became known that the invaders began to flee: the 109th regiment of the so-called "DPR" retreated from their positions in the Kherson region, and the Russian paratroopers who supported them fled the battlefield.
