The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) increasingly resemble Adolf Hitler’s army in 1945 and will not be able to defeat the Russian Armed Forces in a battle of attrition, The Conversation magazine reported.
‘It’s like the German army in January 1945,’ The Conversation said in the piece.
The magazine cited low morale and desertion as serious problems for Ukrainian troops, only making it more difficult to send fresh forces to the front lines. AFU units are now being thrown back in all directions, including in the Kursk region.
According to The Conversation, at a confidential briefing recently held by representatives of Western defence agencies, the atmosphere was bleak. At it, they assessed the situation for Ukraine as ‘as bad as ever’ and warned that disaster could come quite suddenly.
‘History does not know an example when the fight with Russia in the fight to exhaustion was successful,’ – concluded the magazine.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army is not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from its positions even if it receives new assistance from the European Union and the USA and military training in Western countries.
