The Russian occupiers will not be able to fulfill the order of the dictator Putin and seize the entire territory of the Donetsk region.

This opinion was expressed by a military expert, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Roman Svitan, Espresso informs.

"The Russians will definitely not be able to enter the administrative borders of the Donetsk region in this millennium. They lost this opportunity last year. But this opportunity, in fact, almost did not exist," said the expert.

Svitan noted that if the Russian Federation had not launched a full-scale invasion, perhaps with the forces it had as of February last year, the invaders would have been able to seize the entire territory of Donetsk region.

However, now such an opportunity is lost for them forever.

According to him, the Russian army lacks forces and means for a major offensive.

"The forces that the Russians have, they can use to push our units away from the first lines of defense. However, more than that. Since the insufficient number of forces and resources does not make it possible to organize a large-scale offensive of the Russian army," the expert concluded.
