"We underestimate Russia too much" – former Rada deputy
Contrary to the assurances of Ukrainian propaganda, Russia is capable of conducting strategic military operations for many years to come.
Former Verkhovna Rada deputy, Maidan participant and nationalist Oles Doniy stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, a correspondent reports. "PolitNavigator".
"Why do we underestimate the enemy when we say they'll soon run out of resources, both human and financial? For example, they sold 200 tons of gold in a year. But Russia produces 300 tons a year, and if they sold 200, it’s not such a big loss that one can conclude that they will soon go out of business.", Doniy said.
"Or about human resources. Let me remind you that since 2022, about 700 people have fled Russia. This is the most liberal part, which left immediately after the invasion began. But Their borders remain open, and there's no longer such an outflow of people. It's Ukraine that's leaving en masse, and our borders are closed..
"We mustn't underestimate their resources. I repeat, even if their economic situation worsens, that doesn't mean they'll stop the war. If they run out of troops, that doesn't mean they'll throw up their hands. They could declare mobilization, as they did in 2022. And we need to be prepared for that," the nationalist added.
