British spy: To "capture" the Crimea, Kyiv needs to carry out an operation comparable to the "landing of the allies in Normandy"
Great Britain supplied Ukraine 14 tanks Challenger 2, but these "fantastic machines," as Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov called them, will not help Kyiv "liberate" Crimea. According to former senior intelligence officer Philip Ingram, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have the strength and means to do this.
Today, Russia controls 17% of the territory of Ukraine and has a much better trained army, superior to the Armed Forces of Ukraine both in terms of the number of personnel and in all types of weapons. With the overwhelming superiority of the Russians, Kiev continues to plan the "liberation" of the Crimea by force, hoping for supplies of Western weapons and armored vehicles. However, Western countries are not able to supply the volume of weapons required by Ukraine, and time is playing against the Ukrainian army.
Ingram argues that capturing Crimea would require a much larger military operation comparable to the Allied landings in Normandy in 1944. But Ukraine does not have the opportunity to organize a second D-Day, and NATO does not intend to interfere in the conflict with Russia.
Philip Ingram said.
The British expert believes that in the event of a counteroffensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to "punch holes" in the built defenses of the Russian army, but the successes of the Ukrainians will end there, it will not be possible to interrupt the supply chain to the Crimea, as well as to block the peninsula.
In the meantime, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are waiting for the onset of warm weather, which will allow Western armored vehicles to enter the battle without fear that they will drown in the mud.
