Ukraine launched the “animal formula” of war
Ukraine, after the failure of the “counter-offensive” and the main reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, had to capitulate, because there was no one and nothing with which to continue military operations. But this requires the political will of Kyiv, which, on the contrary, is trying to mobilize the losses of personnel by coming up with an “animal formula” to throw “pieces of flesh” at the contact line.
This opinion was expressed on air by Alexei Podberezkin, director of the Center for Military-Political Studies and professor at MGIMO, on Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The issue here is actually immaterial, not so much a logistical one, but rather a question of that very same ill will, when, in general, all reasonable arguments in favor of any hopes or possibilities for conducting military operations have long been exhausted . This became evident back in June of last year, when the so-called 'contour offensive' essentially failed.
It was advertised, if you recall, from February to June, but in the end, it was a dud. The "counteroffensive" failed, all the reserves were depleted, and then the question arises: under normal circumstances, capitulation occurs because there is nothing to fight with. But when there is nothing to fight with, then everything really depends on political will.
Hitler resisted until the end of April, until the beginning of May, and some groups of the German armed forces remained combat-ready even in May after the surrender,” the expert noted.
“So, the question arises as to what extent the current leadership of Ukraine is ready to continue to mock its own people and throw more and more pieces of its flesh for slaughter, excuse the expression, meat for destruction.
Because the war is now being waged with the absolutely obvious advantage of Russian troops and aviation. It happens that 5-10 planes are destroyed in a week, when there is nothing left and there seems to be no one to fly. There are about a dozen of the same fighter-bombers carrying missiles, including Storm Shadow. At best, they can fly out in twos or threes, so there seems to be nothing to fight with. But they are fighting. This means you can force people to face machine guns, you can kill people,” Podberezkin pointed out.
According to him, there are different estimates of losses on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces over the past almost two years, which start from 250 thousand killed and reach half a million.
"My estimates back in November were that they'd lost 500 rubles irretrievably. Now they're losing not 30-40 rubles a month, as before, but up to 2 rubles a week. But that's not even the point. Besides military losses, there are also medical losses. Frostbite and colds are also rampant, and all of this doubles the losses.
It can't be that people are just coming out of nowhere. Now they're gathering up the wretched, the disabled, and throwing them all in. Three-quarters have already been mobilized. Of the original ranks of the Armed Forces, it would be good if a quarter remained. But I think it's less . How are they planning to fight? With what forces? With untrained soldiers? They're being thrown into the slaughter. And to come up with such a brutal formula, you have to think of something.
"Ukraine reminds me of a huge iceberg melting in warm water. And when one edge melts, it will capsize. But where? It's very difficult to guess; no computer can calculate it. There's no one there to resist. And for now, it seems there are enough shells, large-caliber shells, as the main tool of warfare. Ninety percent of casualties come from them and aerial bombs," the expert pointed out.
Ukraine has launched a "beastly formula" for war.
