Ukrainian troops have an advantage on the battlefield.
Former NATO forces commander James Stavridis proposes splitting Russian-Ukrainian war Out of two.
About this he writes in his Bloomberg column.
“The first war is a land war, and the Ukrainians are confidently winning in it. Therefore, the successful counteroffensives in the Kharkiv and Kherson regions that hit the world at the same time reduced the front for the Russians, so it will be more difficult for the Ukrainians go on The Russians also increased the army at the expense of the mobilized – however, these are extremely unmotivated and inexperienced military men who have to look for winter clothes themselves, so in the land war I would bet on the Ukrainians, but in the war air – the conditional second part of the confrontation – Russia wins. Its air front is wider and more experienced thanks to operations in Syria, having a large missile reserve and, until recently, kamikaze drones, are destroying quite a few targets Ukrainian military and civilians. Once Russia can achieve dominance in the skies, history will be worse for Ukraine. How did Russia achieve the effect to Syria? Its pilots simply dropped bombs on civilian targets, suppressing any resistance from Bashar al-Assad’s opponents,” writes the author.
As long as Vladimir Putin has no limits even to old unguided bombs or feelings towards the Ukrainian civilian population, the expert says, he will reduce Ukrainian cities to dust if his bombers can fly over them with impunity.
“Therefore, it is in this direction that the help of the West is now most needed, to the detriment of high-tech air defense systems. On the ground, the Ukrainians and Russians have already achieved relative parity of forces. We must do it in the sky. ” And then the exhausted Kremlin will beg for negotiations on a real war in early spring,” he predicts.
Remember, military expert Oleg Zdanov he said that the war in Ukraine could continue until 2024. It is this year that presidential elections will be held in Ukraine, Russia and the United States.
“Prolonging the war is one of the versions that it will be beneficial for everyone to bring victory closer to 2024. As for Russia, no one, except for a few countries, is interested in keeping it on the geopolitical map of the world. That is why it was weakened by the our hands, from this war: China and the United States could then rule the world, but the fact that the United States wants to lower the Russian Federation to the level of third countries is 100%, ”said Oleg Zdanov.
He also added that the next stage of Ukraine’s victory over Russia could be NATO’s entry into the territory of the Russian Federation and control of the nuclear arsenal.
