This is what Kovaltjuk, who is one of the country’s highest military officers, says in an extensive interview with Sky News.
— We take into account a possible offensive from Belarus at the end of February, maybe later, says Kovaltjuk.
When asked if Kovaltyuk believes that Putin is preparing a mobilization of millions, he replies that he believes that Putin is thinking about it. Ukraine cannot rule out such a scenario, he believes.
The Ukrainian forces are also ready to fight millions of Russians, according to the major general – as long as the West continues to supply the country with weapons. Preferably tanks, aircraft and a reliable anti-aircraft system, according to Kovaltyuk.
However, he warns that the fiercest battles may still lie ahead.
— If Putin carries out a full-scale mobilization, our partners are ready to provide us with all the power and means to stop not an army of 300,000, but an army of one million.
