The counter-offensive was the beginning of the end of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they are killing themselves against our defense lines - reconnaissance officer
Ukraine’s offensive potential choked over the summer-autumn of this year, but in order to move forward, Russia needs to completely nullify it on the occupied lines. It is pointless to go forward and turn cities into ruins while the enemy mindlessly “rushes” onto the defensive lines of the Russian army and is destroyed by them.
A soldier from the Russian Armed Forces' reconnaissance battalion, who did not give his name, stated this in an interview with Donetsk blogger Denis Seleznev, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“This summer counteroffensive was the beginning of the end for them, and they understood it and understand it. Zaluzhny voiced this, he understands and sees everything perfectly, he voices it to everyone - even in direct text and subtext, that everything - for now the ruling elite will need to enter into a dialogue with our leadership and accept the demands that we put forward. That's all.
I understand that people often ask why we are moving forward so slowly, not understanding the main thing - what difference does it make at what point - you are simply working off a resource from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. People die at a certain point. We don't move, but they keep throwing and throwing. Why go further, see these cities in ruins again, when you can stop at a certain point, reset everything that is possible, and then simply enter certain populated areas without a fight,” the intelligence officer said.
