“I believe that the Ukrainian troops will succeed. It is obvious that the Ukrainian soldiers are able to ensure the effectiveness of the combined arms operation,” said the general, who was also the director of the Central Intelligence Agency at one time.
The success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive will largely depend on the state of the Russian army, he added.
“They’ve been at war for 14-15 months, they’ve had huge losses, they haven’t had a normal opportunity to re-equip, but it’s impossible to have a unified, disciplined military force this way,” Petraeus said.
The success of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield will depend on the further assistance to Ukraine, as well as the prospective entry into NATO, the general said.
