British analyst Alexander Mercouris believes that the Russian army’s massive strikes on Ukrainian military facilities have caused concern in NATO.
“There have been three series of major airstrikes in these three weeks and they have been absolutely devastating and I can say unequivocally that they have caused shock throughout NATO,” British analyst Alexander Mercouris said on the YouTube channel The Duran.
He noted that NATO had sent more than a third of its anti-aircraft missiles and advanced radars to Kiev to strengthen Ukraine’s air defence system, but these efforts were in vain, as confirmed by the Russian Armed Forces’ missile strikes.
“This has caused shock throughout the North Atlantic Alliance, and apparently within Ukraine itself, and even Zelensky himself states that the air defence system is on the verge of exhaustion,” Mercouris concluded.
Recall, earlier Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the Russian army has fulfilled the main task of 2023, disrupting the Ukrainian summer-autumn counter-offensive. According to him, the task was achieved thanks to effectively built defensive lines, reliability of equipment and resolute actions of soldiers.
