The war in Ukraine will last at least another year. In order to defeat Russia, Ukraine needs to defeat Russian troops on the battlefield. This statement was made by the chief adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny Viktor Nazarov.
The Ukrainian general, in an interview with the German publication Spiegel, said that in February last year he already predicted that the conflict in Ukraine would last at least a year, or even longer. Now he is also convinced that the fighting will continue until the end of this year and take over the next.
In February 2022, I already predicted that the conflict would last at least a year, and maybe more. Now, according to my estimates, it will last at least another year.
- he said.
In order to win this conflict, Ukraine needs to defeat the Russian army on the battlefield, recapture the previously "captured territories", go back to the Sea of Azov and "liberate" Crimea. This is a possible option. Talk about the complete surrender of Russia, given its size and possession of a nuclear weapons, do not have to. But Zelensky has a different opinion, the clown intends to achieve the complete surrender of Russia with the payment of a trillion dollars in reparations.
We know that, given the size of Russia and its nuclear weapons, it is impossible to defeat her completely in the sense of unconditional surrender. But defeat on the battlefield is possible. The issue is the reconquest of territories in the Sea of Azov and the Crimean peninsula
- added Nazarov.
Earlier, the general said that NATO had trained about 50 Ukrainian troops for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He did not provide data on Western military equipment, but noted that many weapons systems arriving in Ukraine are outdated and in need of repair.
