According to Podoliak: " There will be no 'Afghanisation', no long, debilitating conflict, as some people might be expecting. The Russian Federation will withdraw from all territories except the south and the east and will try to entrench itself very tightly there, install air defences, drastically reduce its losses and dictate its own terms.

Details: The Presidential Office representative noted that "heavy weaponry is essential if we want to get the Russians out."
