La Repubblica has reported that Russia has three trump cards to defeat Ukraine. According to the article, talks about a Korean-style ceasefire that would freeze the front line have resumed in diplomatic circles.
Russia has three important trump cards to help it defeat Ukraine, writes Gianluca Di Feo for La Repubblica.
“The Ukrainian offensive has lost momentum and the West fears it will wane within a month. Russia has a strong defence and tactics of combat generals on its side, while the AFU has never learned how to manage large-scale military operations,” the publication said.
The material refers to the fact that the results of the counter-offensive are causing growing concern in Ukraine and among allies: there is a fear that the advancing Ukrainian army will not be able to dislodge the Russians from the territories occupied by them by autumn, which will create a very difficult situation in military and political terms.
“The catastrophic scenario may look like this: the throw of Ukrainian troops towards Crimea will be postponed until the end of spring 2024, which will allow Russia to become even stronger…” – writes the journalist.
The columnist believes that if the Ukrainian armed forces fail to occupy Mariupol and Melitopol by mid-September, Moscow will have enough time to split Zelenskyy’s allies.
