Russia once again lied, announcing a

truce

for a day and a half, starting at 12:00 on January 6.

We will remind you that the day before, the occupiers claimed that they were "extending the Christian hand of mercy", but struck

Kurakhovo

 and Kramatorsk in Donetsk region, Kherson.

A number of military experts did not rule out the possibility of shelling, calling the attempt to create a truce a fake.

Military analyst

Oleksiy Hetman

, in a comment for

TSN.ua

, did not rule out that there could still be a provocation on the night of January 7.

"An hour after the so-called truce, fighter jets took to the sky in Belarus, air warning signals sounded in Ukraine. That is

, the paper is not worth what the Russians wrote about yesterday,

- says Hetman. - But they did not just announce the truce in order to lie. There may be a so-called multi-walk. On the night of January 6-7, many people will continue to celebrate Christmas. In the temporarily occupied territories, people will go to churches. Most likely, the

Russians are planning to create provocations there

, attack some church, in order to blame our side later. Probably, this truce was prepared precisely for this provocation."

In addition, the military analyst explained why the occupiers raised military planes into the sky on January 6, without even firing yet.

 "In this way, they can try to see how our air defense system works. In other words, they find out the location of our air defense systems, calculate the emission of electromagnetic waves. Technically, it is not difficult," Hetman added.   

The truce can be a trap: what they said the day before

In turn, other experts emphasized that the Kremlin's plans do not include a ceasefire.

That is, such messages can be a trap.

For example, military expert

Petro Chernyk

commented on Moscow's intentions as follows:

"It is quite possible that this is a banal distraction.

He [Putin] is giving a signal to the world that he can be negotiated with.

Let's not forget that a tyrant must love the people.

If the people do not love the tyrant, then the latter is over.

It is also a signal to his masses about how "brilliant a true leader" he is, that he has "Christian mercy."

This signal of bydlomas will be eaten with incredible taste.

In addition, this step is designed to consolidate his non-donation around himself."

Another expert,

Oleksandr Kovalenko

, also warned about a possible trap.

"We are talking about the Russians. They can launch a massive strike and then declare that a truce is in progress. They can do it so that there is no response. All this, in my opinion, is primarily a provocation. No truce should to be," he says for TSN.ua.
