Analysts On The War In Ukraine The Russian Army Is Now Stripped This War Will Last A Long Time

It has been a year since Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to attack Ukraine In February 2022, there were messages that Kiev would fall in a few days, a few weeks at the most, but Kiev managed to repel the first Russian attacks, and later, with the help of western weapons, launched a counter-offensive in which he successfully liberated a large part of his territory.

WATCH THE VIDEO: With the arrival of winter and bad weather, both sides stopped advancing, and new offensives, Russian and Ukrainian, are expected in the spring This week, Putin also held a big speech in front of the Federal Assembly in which he accused the West and Ukraine of everything.

There is no indication that it plans to stop this war According to Kiev's estimates, Russia lost 150,000 soldiers in the war.

Other estimates speak of more than 200,000 Russian victims Kiev's losses are estimated at around 100.

000 people - Unfortunately, I think that the estimates of losses are even worse, the estimates he deals with are relatively conservative estimates.

We do not have an estimate of sick soldiers from, for example, COVID, hypothermia, frostbite, various unhygienic conditions on the front lines, which are also considered losses in the army People recover, but there are also irreversible losses - damaged parts of the body from frostbite, lost fingers, legs and similar.

Before that, I believe that there are about 250,000 Russian soldiers, both dead and wounded and sick More than a million people fled Russia.

At the time of the first part of the mobilization, military analyst Ivica Mandić told Dnevnik Nova TV and added:- The mobilization is carried out quietly even now, and in this sense, the mortality of soldiers on the front line is something that has not been recorded since the Second World War The biggest problem is that with 155 thousand soldiers they wanted to conquer a country bigger than Germany and France combined.

It doesn't work that way - says Mandić, who doesn't have much positive to say about the Russian army - The army is untrained, unprofessional and we have exposed a superpower that is basically a 'paper tiger' In this sense, there are no indications that the Russian army will be better trained, and it has been completely changed from the original number and a very large number of people have been brought in without military experience, especially in the conditions when they are doing their job, and their heads are at stake - said Mandić.

Vlatko Cvrtila He said that the equipment that Ukraine will now receive from the West is insufficient, and that Russia, on the other hand, built defensive fortifications in parts of the occupied Ukrainian territory.

- This only means that we are entering a phase of the war that will be extremely uncertain On the one hand, Ukraine wants to liberate these territories, Russia has dug in well and has the strength to defend them, and we can say that this war and this conflict will last for a long time, said the analyst Cvrtila, writes HRT.

Cvrtila also said that China came out with a peace initiative that they themselves do not believe in in order to reduce the pressure to condemn the aggression - What they wrote there is simply unachievable, he said, adding that "we will all forget that initiative in a few days - says Cvrtila, who commented and the situation in Bahmut, a city that the Russians have been trying to conquer for months.

There are also many Wagnerites there, who use the prisoners in their ranks as cannon fodder: - Bahmut is a point where major battles are fought, it is extremely important for the Russian side Strategically, it doesn't really have that importance that it will change something significantly in warfare, but for the Russians it has importance because, after losing Kherson, they want to conquer some city, that is, some place that would mean their victory - said Cvrtila for HRT.
