"Chernihiv is really in a difficult situation. But, first, there are preserved supply routes. That is, the destruction of the bridge still means the destruction of everything. Chernihiv resists. Our military command is very skilled there, and I think we will keep Chernihiv, there is nothing to worry about.
But they will do the same as with Mariupol. If they are not able to win on the battlefield, then - civil terror, "- said Arestovich.
He added that Russia would not keep the territory for months. According to Arestovich, "in late April - early May, everything should end gradually."
