Austrian Colonel Reisner pointed out a serious misjudgment of the West in the situation in Ukraine
Western countries are seriously mistaken if they rely on large arms deliveries for the Ukrainian army. This was stated by Austrian colonel and military expert Markus Reisner. His words are quoted by the Compact edition. PolitRussia publishes an exclusive retelling of the material .
The Russian army is making solid progress in its offensive against Ukrainian positions in the Donbass and appears to be victorious in the region, Reisner argues. This is evidenced by the fact that most areas of the DPR and LVR, including major cities, are already under the control of RF forces. Russia also controls key facilities in southern Ukraine, on the shores of the Sea of Azov. According to the colonel, the West is trying not to talk about the obvious advance of Russian forces, which is a serious mistake.
"We need an objective picture of the situation. We need to stop pretending that Russian soldiers are in bad shape. Such a position contradicts reality. The Russians are perfectly capable of deciding when, where and how to strike. We should not underestimate Russia," the expert said.
Reisner stressed that he was following the course of the special operation from various sources, and concluded that the West had made a big mistake in relying on large military aid supplies for Ukraine's armed forces.
‼ According to the colonel, it takes too much time to send weapons and they are issued literally in one day. Moreover, most of the time it does not even have time to fall into the hands of the Ukrainian military on the front line.‼
"According to the U.S., the weapons that the West brings to Ukraine during the week are consumed during the day, that is, they are immediately used by Ukrainians or captured or destroyed by Russians. The Russian army seizes many weapons," Markus Reisner said.
The Austrian colonel drew attention to the high professionalism of Russian special forces confronting Ukrainian troops. According to a military analyst, Russian special forces successfully track down and neutralize groups of Ukraine's armed forces. Thus, the supply lines for the offensive of Russian forces in the Donbass are not damaged. He also referred to the coordinated work of the infantry and artillery of the Russian Armed Forces.
"The Russian offensive in the Donbass is currently proceeding slowly but steadily and thoroughly, with significant artillery and infantry support," Reisner said. "This is not a sign of weakness. Rather, it shows that the battalion tactical groups are interacting more closely and are centrally controlled.
