If the offensive in the East of Ukraine is expected that this will happen before the cold weather.

According to the Censor.NET, this was said in the comments "GORDON" ex-President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili.

"I think that Putin is considering all options. On the one hand, he signed a gas agreement with Europe and Ukraine. Thus, he said Europe: "don't worry! Even if I naadu Ukraine gas you have. And at the same time, he led the bombers over the Atlantic ocean, to send a signal to Europe and America that Russia is capable of nuclear bombardment, if his case will intervene," said the politician..
According to Saakashvili, in the Valdai forum, Putin made a speech very similar to the message of Hitler Chamberlain before the Second world war.
"In this speech a lot of reference points. He announced that the entire post-Soviet area is its taiga and he's like the tiger, which can be found there. And if others don't want him moved into their forest, you then don't need to touch his taiga. It looks as preparation for full-scale attack. Attack it now or later, it's hard for me to say," said he.
The politician believes that the Ukrainian leadership should be especially vigilant.
"Because, if we are to expect from Putin surprises, in the direction of the South and of the Crimea, through the Mariupol, Kherson, and other areas before the onset of cold weather and snowfall. If during this period will carry, I think the rest of the time he will be firing position, to maintain the tension, but in the winter when it is cold, the probability of a large-scale offensive is reduced," - said Saakashvili.
"The project "new Russia" is not merged or closed. Putin has two projects: first, the secessionist regions of Ukraine, which never closes on its own volition. He never closed none of the separatist region in the post-Soviet space. Secondly, the complete destruction of the Ukrainian statehood. For him it's a matter of life and death. He understands that if Ukraine will survive as a coherent state and how the state, it means his personal collapse," said the ex-President.
Saakashvili expressed the view that the situation in Ukraine, which arose as a result of the election, Putin has no chance to surrender Ukraine.
"And this is the only agreement on which it relies. So I think that in the near future from Putin any diplomatic breakthroughs are expected. Now you have to be very vigilant and to immediately form a government of Ukraine and to implement reforms, first and foremost anti-corruption", - said the politician.
"The dialogue should lead to all citizens of Ukraine. As for the Russians, who were sent there, you have to negotiate with their masters, and not some puppet. It is clear that the territorial integrity of Ukraine is not subject to revision and bargaining is inappropriate here. And all other questions of course you can discuss it," said Saakashvili.
