Ukraine in Arabic | The Russian Federation has drawn up a plan to occupy left-bank Ukraine
Kiev/ Ukraine in arabic/ "In April 2015, the General Staff of the Russian Federation approved another working plan for the occupation of left-bank Ukraine. The meeting on the approval of this plan was held on April 8-9 in St. Petersburg, in the headquarters of the Western Military District," he said.
According to Herashchenko, only 15 days are necessary to occupy the whole left-bank Ukraine in accordance with the plan of the General Staff of the Russian Federation. The main goal is to rapidly gain control over the territories and communications, without the seizure of large cities or regional centers.
"In accordance with the plan, battalion tactical groups of the Russian regular army, united in a group of troops called ‘Sever’ (North) would invade the territory of Ukraine in two stages – first in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, and then in Poltava, Kyiv and Chernihiv regions," Herashchenko said.
By force of habit, the invasion is planned to be disguised under the attacks of the fighters of the DPR and LPR militant organizations, who have gained strength and want to restore the constitutional order in Ukraine, without the return of Viktor Yanukovych.
"The plan to capture left-bank Ukraine to the River Dnipro is detailed in a document [entitled] ‘A report on the participation of the Sever grouping in special operations,’ that is classified as top secret in the explanatory note to the plan," Herashchenko said.
"Together with these basic strategic documents, we’ve got a set of technical documents with the details of strikes, landings, lists of takeovers of strategic facilities and communications," he said.
