This also suggests that during the “greetings” at those Russian airfields, they had to relocate, and this estimated approach time is also included here. They need to coordinate their actions, measure the possibility and combination of forces, conduct certain training,” explained the spokeswoman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
