A RAMPAGING Vladimir Putin will make serious breakthroughs in Ukraine this Summer - his first move towards plunging Europe into a bloody WW3, former army bosses have warned.
He said the Russians are trying to create a northern front that will advance to the southern Donbas where they will meet other units to create a united force that can take the region by the end of June.Russian forces are already making headway and eating away at Ukraine's territory with its new offensive - underscoring the acute ammunition and manpower shortages crippling the Ukrainian army.
Clarke warned Putin would take Odesa to the south of Ukraine as far as the Moldovan border - but he wouldn't stop there.The defence and security expert warned Putin would move against Georgia and pocket the country as part of his ever-growing sphere of power. General Barrons agrees and warned that at the same time, Putin would spark chaos across Europe by launching cyber and terror attacks by far-right thugs.
He explained: "Russia could create tensions in the region by creating false-flag attacks to make it look like the West was attacking Russian forces along the Suwalki Gap. Barrons explained that a no-fly zone means Russian aircraft and missiles heading for Ukraine would have to be shot down.General Barrons said the worst-case scenario would also see President Macron deploy troops to Ukraine.
"But what you could see is bilateral support from individual Nato nations like France who would deploy French troops to Ukraine."He said: "When Macron said he didn't rule out sending troops to Ukraine, Putin immediately raised the nuclear spectre. "If the West doesn't act now, we leave ourselves with not much alternative but to face this dystopian future."
The blitz, said to be the first stage of Russia’s summer offensive, is designed to finally break through the stalemate by throwing troops into human wave assaults. General Barrons said the West's current strategy relies on Russian incompetence and a belief that they won't be organised enough to attack.
