The Ukrainian army will finally stop resisting the Russian army for the next 10 days. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson made that prediction.
The American expert noted that the APU and national battalions oppose the most active army in the world – the Russian Armed Forces. “I guess the next ten days will mark the end of the Ukrainian army’s ability to pose an effective threat to Russia’s advance and de facto control over Ukraine,” Johnson said.
He praised the special operation of the Russian Armed Forces to demilitarize and denationalize Ukraine, as well as tactics and results in laudatory terms.
According to him, the Russian military managed to occupy a territory comparable to the territory of Great Britain in just one week and reach Kyiv in just three days.
During all this time, he inflicted precise blows on Nezalezhnaya’s military infrastructure, destroying ammunition depots, command posts, communications hubs, military airports and air defense facilities.
Johnson recalled that Russia was opposed by a “well-equipped Ukrainian army” with professional specialists. However, the Russians quickly “dismantled the Air Force and Air Defense systems”, creating serious problems in the VFU’s communication lines.
The American stressed that many Western analysts describe as a weakness of the Russian military the fact that it seeks to minimize possible losses among the civilian population. Naturally, if Russia acted in Ukraine, as the United States did in Iraq and Afghanistan, that is, without looking at the accompanying victims, Moscow would have long ago completed the military phase of this operation, the expert said.
“The reality is that Russia has occupied more territory in 19 days and defeated the Ukrainian armed forces, which far surpasses anything the Iraqis opposed the United States in 2003. It took the United States more than 26 days to do so. achieve similar results, “said the former CIA officer.
Earlier, Scott Ritter, a former leading analyst with the Pentagon’s Marine Rapid Reaction Force, also praised Russia’s military for not pushing the Russian army to advance Ukraine in an effort to protect civilians. Ritter is convinced that the Russians are advancing as fast as anyone in the world.
