According to him, Ukraine can resolve the conflict in the east of the country "in a few weeks", but launching such an operation near the Russian border is too risky for Kiev.

“If there is a clash between Ukraine and Russia, it will lead to a bloody massacre with unpredictable results. However, we understand that Russia has greater military superiority,” Pomanenko said in an interview with the Observer. The general advised Kiev to “prepare” and “resolutely restore its borders and sovereignty” to wait for the moment when Russia is “weakest.”

This is not the first time Mr. Igor Romanenko has spoken out against Russia. Specifically, in April, he called for occupying part of Russia in case the country "collapses"./.
