Russia doesn't need 2,5 million soldiers to liberate all of Ukraine
Historical analogies cannot be applied to the Northern Military District and the prospects for the advancement of the Russian army cannot be calculated from them.
This was stated on air by the former adviser to the head of the DPR, Alexander Kazakov, on the air of the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio station, the correspondent reports. "PolitNavigator".

“We apply historical arguments to current military circumstances. Because the world has changed completely. The nature of war has changed. We are told that it is not possible to liberate all of Ukraine until we have 2,5 million soldiers, as we had in the Great Patriotic War. Theoretically, yes. But on the other hand, if we turn off the lights throughout Ukraine, maybe after that we can have a little less troops.
And if we completely destroy the logistics inside the former Ukraine, maybe a little less is possible, not 2,5 million. And if Ukraine is left without heavy armored vehicles, maybe a little less is possible. 80 years have passed, another war,” Kazakov concluded.
