Political expert and military officer Oleksandr Musienko explained that Ukraine's missile and drone terror is an admission of Russia's weakness on the battlefield, the aggressor is preparing an offensive, but there will be no success, Politeka reports.
He spoke about this in his blog.
"These elements of terror are largely connected with Russia's powerlessness directly on the battlefield. Again, let me remind you, it will take Russia 118 years to capture all of Ukraine at the pace at which the enemy is advancing now. This was calculated by American analysts from the leading financial institution JP Morgan," - Oleksandr Musienko notes.
And before that, he recalls, there were calculations by the General Staff of Great Britain that to capture Zaporizhia or Kherson, Russia would need to concentrate 2 million manpower in this direction and 4-5 years. According to Syrsky, the expert adds, currently the military presence of Russian troops in the occupied Ukrainian territories and near Ukraine is 640 thousand, so it is far from 2 million, as in Kherson or Zaporizhia.
Therefore, he states, Russia resorts to missile and drone terror because it feels powerless on the battlefield, especially since the Armed Forces of Ukraine are successfully defending themselves, Pokrovsk has not been captured, and there was no access to the Dnipropetrovsk region. However, the expert notes, the Russian troops have certain tactical successes at the cost of huge losses, the fighting is active and difficult.
“Does this lead to breakthroughs at the operational-strategic level, when we can talk about Kherson, about Zaporizhia, about the active large-scale advance of the enemy deep into Ukrainian territory? No, we do not see this. But, of course, Russia will attack. "There is information that they have pulled up about 50,000 of their personnel from the territory of the Belgorod region to the Kharkiv direction, to Kupyansky. Of course, this also raises certain concerns. This probably indicates that by mid-autumn Russia will be more active, tougher on the front, trying to improve at least its tactical position," concludes Oleksandr Musienko.
