Predicting Ukraine's next steps, Igor Girkin said that Ukraine might launch a series of 'diversionary' strikes that would prompt Russia to react 'seriously.'

Girkin recently predicted Ukraine’s future offensive, which he thinks might get the Russian President Valdimir Putin and his supporters “out of a state of being on the planet of pink ponies.
"They [Ukrainian troops] are unlikely to set the task of capturing [Russian city] Belgorod ...That is fraught with the risk that the Russian bear will really stop sluggishly fighting back. He will get angry, jump out of the den, and start fighting for real," Girkin said.
