Podcast “Ukraine – The Situation”: Military expert Masala expects Kyiv to be surrounded quickly

The situation in Ukraine is constantly changing. In the new star-Podcast “Ukraine – the situation” the Munich military expert Carlo Masala talks about the current situation and what the next few days could be like.

Munich military expert Carlo Masala expects Russian forces to completely encircle Kyiv in the coming days. Masala said Tuesday in the new star-Podcast “Ukraine – the situation”, according to his estimation, this will happen within 24 to 48 hours. Despite all the problems, the Russian troops are slowly but surely getting closer to their military goals. According to Masala, it is unclear how Russia will try to gain control of the city. You can be cut off from the outside world or attacked with ground troops.

Masala: Particularly destructive attacks could follow

The politics professor from the Bundeswehr University in Munich pointed out that the evacuation of civilians via humanitarian corridors could be followed by particularly destructive attacks. This was shown in Syria. There, the Russian armed forces would have opened up escape routes in order to then “massively shell and destroy” the cities. He fears that this could also happen in Ukraine.

He was not very optimistic about the talks between the foreign ministers of the warring parties planned for Thursday. Both sides are facing each other with maximum demands, a common solution is not recognizable. “I’m very skeptical,” said Masala, who will in future assess the situation in Ukraine on the podcast every working day.
