Representative of the Austrian Ministry of Defense predicts the defeat of Ukraine in the Donbass

54

The representative of the Austrian Ministry of Defense, Colonel Markus Reisner, said in an interview with the German news TV channel Welt that Russia is already winning in the Donbass, and Ukraine is unable to change the course of the military campaign.

According to a senior Austrian military officer, he is closely following the course of hostilities in Ukraine. The Russian army is conducting a systematic and successful offensive in the Donbass, and the key city of Severodonetsk is almost completely under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Reisner believes that if nothing radical happens in the near future, then the Russian military will close the remnants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ​​​​Severodonetsk, Seversk, Popasnaya and Artemovsk into a cauldron. The next step will be the complete liberation of the territory of the LPR, the Austrian military leader believes.



Reisner drew attention to the fact that the military assistance provided by the West to Kyiv is too insignificant to turn the tide of the military campaign in the Donbass.

New multiple launch rocket systems from Germany and America - if they are delivered at all - will no longer be able to influence the situation in the Severodonetsk direction. As for US aid, Washington sends only four MLRS to Ukraine, while Moscow has thousands of multiple launch rocket systems.

- the Austrian military strategist draws a disappointing conclusion for Kyiv.

Reisner believes that the Russian command very successfully uses the tactics of total advantage over the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the special operation. The Russian Aerospace Forces almost completely control the airspace over Ukraine, and on the ground it uses long-range artillery, short and medium-range missiles, and ballistic missiles to destroy the enemy.

Moscow has enough time and enough ammunition to keep going like this for a long time to come. While there is information that Ukrainian soldiers are under great stress in the Donbass and are showing signs of combat fatigue. They complain about the lack of weapons

- states the Austrian colonel.

Reisner predicts that by summer or at the latest by early autumn, Russia will try to take control of the entire Donbass. After that, the RF Armed Forces can concentrate offensive actions towards Odessa. The loss of this port city will deprive Ukraine of access to the sea, which will further complicate the plight of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are sorely lacking in ammunition and weapons.

This would be fatal, because the country lives by transporting its goods by sea.

concludes the Austrian military strategist.

      We need to think not about the defeat of Ukraine, but about the victory of Russia. Yes, Ukraine will lose anyway. But after all, we are at war not with Ukraine, but with the West. And it is obvious that in this sense Russia is still losing. A protracted war of attrition is not profitable for Russia. The tactics of positional warfare with sedentary fronts and with the maximum destruction of the entire infrastructure, which then Russia will have to restore at its own expense, is fully consistent with the plans of the West. Therefore, if Russia fails to find more effective combat tactics in the near future, it will eventually face a strategic defeat. Even if at the same time Ukraine will be completely defeated.

      I don’t know how in Austria, but in America officially summer begins on the day of the summer solstice (June 22) and ends exactly before the autumnal equinox (September 21). Another thing is that in Florida it does not end, but in Alaska it does not really begin.
      And unofficially, summer begins on the last weekend of May (with the addition of the Monday of the next week - Memorial Day), and ends on the last weekend of May (with the addition of the Monday of the next week - Labor Day).

    for me, this is the division of Ukraine into three parts: include all of Novorossia, including Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Nikolaev, Odessa region, into Russia (the population should be rigidly lustred for attitudes towards ukronazism ... they were lit up in social networks or in obscene affairs) the central part (preferably completely agrarian for 50 years ) in a neutral status under the external control of Russia (for the slightest zigging and banderism give from 10 and above), leave the western 3-4 regions for disposal of various kinds of stubborn people (what Poland or Romania will do with these regions is not interesting) ...

    Reisner predicts that by summer or at the latest by early autumn, Russia will try to take control of the entire Donbass.

    In my opinion, by early autumn, the SVO will already be completed. I don’t know whether the Poles will decide on the annexation of the Lviv region or not, but the further our troops advance, the smaller the number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I understand that there are mercenaries there, but the front cannot be held by mercenaries alone. And the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the current daily level of losses, in all cases, will simply end by the middle of summer. This I think is still a pessimistic forecast. So not all Donbass by early autumn, Russia will try to take, but the entire territory of Ukraine, which is in the plans of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Well, yes, they will supply equipment to Ukraine, and? Who will manage it?.. Those who fled away to Europe? Surrendered prisoners?
