Can Putin soon announce the end of the so-called special military operation,

political consultant Dmytro Vasiliev told

"It is not excluded.

I don't believe that.

Although there are many Russians who are quite active in our information space, there are also local Ukrainian experts who say that it is possible, roughly speaking, on May 9.

I don't believe that.

I do not believe that Putin will stop the SVO just like that.

We have gone too far.

Moreover, I think that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not allow this to happen, because there will be serious counter-offensive actions when the Russians have to run.

The fact that they will be able to make a gesture of goodwill in order to regroup and liberate certain parts of our territory, for example, the Zaporizhzhia region or the Kherson region, in order to withdraw troops - someone to Mariupol, someone to the Crimea, to dig in there and try to hold at least some areas

I believe in that," said Dmytro Vasiliev.

Separately, he added that Putin can say that the SVO is over, and now the war.

Moreover, they still have a disguised announcement of general Russian mobilization by the adopted law on electronic subpoenas.

"Because now everyone can receive subpoenas at any time.

But this does not mean that everyone will be mobilized.

However, in fact, such a possibility exists under this law.

That's why I think he can say that the SVO ends and the war begins," Dmytro Vasiliev emphasized.

We will remind you that Budanov, the head of the State Administration of Ukraine, was "arrested" in Russia.
