Military expert Carlo Masala has warned of the devastating consequences of the fighting in the vicinity of Ukraine’s Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. Masala said on Tuesday im star– “Ukraine – the situation”it is one “extremely dangerous situation that we find ourselves in here”. What exactly is going on is not clear, but “there is fighting going on there, that’s for sure – and that fact alone makes it so highly dangerous”.
Military expert Masala: Combat operations in Ukraine could subside after the summer
The politics professor at the Bundeswehr University in Munich said he wanted to “don’t speculate about who is shelling the nuclear power plant”. There are no independent reports on this. “If it wasn’t the Ukrainians, then part of the Russian strategy is to terrify us all”said Masala. He advocated allowing the International Atomic Energy Agency to review the facility. “One must take care of this problem firmly”he stressed.

Masala saw the new and largest US aid package for Ukraine to date as a continuation of the previous support. It will enable the Ukrainians to defend their positions and inflict casualties on the Russians. But it will not enable the Ukrainians to conduct major offensives.
At the same time, the relocation of Russian units from the embattled Donbass to the south makes it clear how limited the number of Russian troops in the war zone is. Masala expects the fighting to subside after the summer. He said: “Eventually it will start raining, then the ground will get muddy, and then the fights will automatically slow down because the device isn’t working properly anymore.”
This could lead to an attempt by Russia to seek an end to the fighting on what it considers favorable terms. “We may end up in a situation where the fighting will lessen in the fall, prices will explode in the western nations, and then Russia will come around the corner with a ceasefire”he said.
