Russian general on whether prolongation of the current conflict is beneficial for our country

More than four months of the Ukrainian counter-offensive have already clearly shown that Kyiv will not be able to achieve its goals. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered such large-scale losses that the further continuation of the operation raises doubts even in the West.

As a result, more and more reports are appearing that the United States and its allies are suggesting that Kyiv curtail its counteroffensive and go on the defensive, thereby prolonging the conflict.

Lieutenant General, Doctor of Political Science Konstantin Pulikovsky expressed his opinion on whether such a scenario would be beneficial for Russia.



In his words, as a military man, he would like a speedy end to the conflict and the complete defeat of the enemy. However, today the entire NATO bloc is fighting against Russia, which is literally pumping the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the latest weapons in huge quantities.

This, according to the general, is understood by both the Russian command and the military at the front. Therefore, the Russian Armed Forces have now built a powerful defense, and the main goal of the Russian army is to wear down the enemy by destroying as much equipment and personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as possible.

Meanwhile, a protracted conflict, according to Pulikovsky, may be beneficial to us politically. Many countries in the world are already pretty tired of wars and the aggressive policies of the West. That is why more and more states are uniting around Russia today and will unite in the future. This is eloquently evidenced by the number of applications to join BRICS, as well as the number of foreign guests at the Valdai Club meeting.

Most likely, the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America do not like us very much. Or China. But they are tired of the hegemony of the Americans and Europeans. Therefore, time is now more likely to play in Russia’s favor

- summed up the Russian general.

      How many?
      Yes, a lot of heroes died. And they died defending their homeland. Both Russia and the Soviet Union. And thanks to them, Russia became Russia. Well, about people like you, we have a proverb about Ivan, who does not remember his kinship.

        Svetlana, your words would be fair if there were no murky agreements, if the strikes were carried out on strategic targets in Ukraine - oil refineries, bridges, substations on railway transport..., and not isolated cases. Almost two years have passed, and Ukraine has no problems with logistics for such a variety of equipment.

          Do you have facts, names, [passwords, appearances]? Or so... general words at the emotional level.

          It is at the level of emotions that TsIPSO works and the first post in this topic is proof of this.

              NATO needs to clear its warehouses of junk. But it is difficult to officially dispose of it - “they are weakening the defenses.” And they clean it like this, “unofficially.”
              So some elements of an agreement are possible, but unlikely.
              The West hates Russia too much to miss the opportunity to drag it into a war with Russians from a neighboring country.
              But who benefits from delaying is a complex question.
              A quick victory will not solve the issue of Ukrainian fascism (too many fascists will survive). Prolonging the conflict is too damaging for the economy. So here we need to choose the “golden mean”.
              Delaying is beneficial to the United States, but it will do a lot of harm to Russia and the Russians. But on the other hand, it is losing support in Europe. And if it drags on too long, NATO may lose some members

            You, who justifies all the grossest miscalculations of the Russian command?
            Such miscalculations do not benefit Russia; they harm Ukraine.
            And you justify them!
            So maybe you are the enemy of Russia?
            Maybe you're the sissy?
            Because it is the ciphers who benefit from creating a situation where people see real mistakes, and others, like you, justify all these mistakes.
            Accusing the people of betrayal and stupidity.

            And the people in reality cease to trust the authorities.
            He begins to see the light.
            And be unhappy.
            Thanks to people like you. Praisers of mistakes and failures.
            And it is your “valuable final product” that creates a split between the government and the people, creating cognitive dissonance.
            It is you, Svetlana, who is the enemy of Russia.
            I publicly accuse you of this, tsmpsota!

    Of course, I’m not a general or a doctor of political science, so I don’t agree with Pulikovsky. I believe that prolonging the current conflict is not beneficial for Russia. The longer it goes on, the more the latest Western weapons appear in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and this inevitably increases the number of casualties on our side.

    Meanwhile, a protracted conflict, according to Pulikovsky, may be beneficial to us politically.

    Russia cannot benefit from small-town politics, obtained with the blood of its citizens, in the presence of other radical measures for conducting military operations. Mr. General, try to convince me that trading with Nazi sponsors and an excessive desire for negotiations and agreements, with a clear formulation of tasks (demilitarization and denazification), looks like an outright betrayal, and a sluggish policy regarding the taxation of billionaires who transfer funds to countries NATO (or do they keep money in Sberbank?) is open sabotage.

      What is “good” about our armchair “generals” is that they are not afraid of anything or anyone, are not subject to even a shadow of doubt, and believe in their infallibility as the ultimate truth. Therefore, one must think that they have extensive knowledge in the field of military science and experience in the military sphere. Not to mention having a thorough knowledge of the state of affairs on the LBS. It's elementary. After all, for some reason they oppose delaying the SVO? Are our guys dying? Do you think that if we launch an offensive according to your wishes, fewer of our guys will die? By the way, can you name a couple of comrades for whom the current ones need to give way to people, as you say “...for whom the interests of the country and the people are above the interests of the government of millionaires”? "...Where, show us, are the fathers of the fatherland,
      Which ones should we take as samples?"

    The longer the hostilities last, the more shells will be fired by banderlogs at our military personnel and at civilians in the border areas. And these shells are not New Year’s crackers at all. Therefore, it would be nice to speed up.

    I have already expressed my point of view more than once - the blitzkrieg in Tsegabonia does not answer the main question. What then should we do next with the stubborn Svidomite part of the population there? Keeping them at home is like death, we’ve already been through this, shooting them all is a no-brainer, deporting them to where? And so the issue is resolved naturally at the front. Yes - not without our losses, yes - with enormous efforts, but at the very least it can be solved. But in the case of lightning-fast capture - no. No way. And these considerations also need to be taken into account - what are our actions after the inevitable victory?

          No money and strength? There was no point in starting. First they decide on a goal, then they calculate the forces and means to achieve it. You think that everything is going according to plan, as Solntseliky said, but I don’t. This is a matter of faith in your case, but I see that the leadership doesn’t know what to do. They played, for example, with attacks on the energy sector - they gave up, they played with attacks on ports - they gave up... And so on in everything.

        And everyone soon saw the standard of living in the GDR and the FRG (despite even the flow of cheap resources from the USSR to the GDR). And the people ran to Germany so quickly that they had to hastily build a wall in Berlin in 1961 and create an impassable border in other places.

    And they will get to their destination.
    Despite the fact that the F-16s themselves will remain beyond the reach of our air defense and air defense with such tactics.

    It is immediately necessary to develop some measures to protect the Crimean Bridge and Black Sea Fleet facilities from such attacks.
    They may begin in the near future.

      We should have won in 2014. Look, Mariupol would be intact now...

    Ukraine is not Chechnya.
    The Chechens then had no aviation, no air defense, no MLRS division, tanks, artillery, no long-range missiles, no radars, etc.
    Based on this, we can predict the duration of SVO for 5-7 years.

      If you plan a quick victory and win, you are a good strategist.
      If you plan for a quick victory and don't win, you are a bad strategist.
      If you are planning a long and bloody battle, you are not a strategist, but a nonentity.

      They had everything except long-range missiles. Chechen aviation carried out at the very beginning of the first Chechen UFO with stars, arriving from the direction of Georgia.

    It’s just that everything is going according to NATO’s plan, but we can’t do anything.

      Russia started the SVO, not NATO. I remember here, at the very beginning of the Northern Military District, there were enthusiastic comments that this operation would be included in textbooks on tactics and strategy on how to fight. Yeah, it will come in, with a minus sign.

    The general says that all nations support us. For all this to translate into reality, it is necessary to ensure that we are supported in all forums. This is perhaps more difficult to do than simply discussing the current situation.

    Constantly defending the war cannot be won, the same goals are set in the Northern Military District. If we agree, Ukraine will not make concessions to Russia, and the West and the United States will not suffer defeat in a moral and military sense. Therefore, it is necessary to defend until a favorable moment for Russia, which will ensure a victorious offensive and the conquest of the territory of eastern Ukraine and the capture of Kiev. But a military-political alliance of our allies against the NATO bloc is necessary. This takes time. Another option is the hope that the United States will refuse to finance Ukraine after the elections. There is no guarantee for Russia here.

    Regarding the reasoning in the video - alas, everything is wrong, IMHO..
    And the general... did anyone really expect him to criticize the authorities? Not in the kitchen, but on the air? He listened, approved everything, simply recited the manual...

    But we have reached the writings of the ancient Greeks - that prolonging wars benefits the authorities, the tyrants, and not the people. Tyrants destroy their opponents, maybe. martial law, and the people are paying with blood and money for their decisions..
    That's how we see it. The power of Edra instead of the Russian Spring. Rich Oligarchs. Not only the opposition was crushed, but also the conditionally independent Strelkovs. People with their own opinions, if possible, simply vote with their feet.
    And even our closest neighbors, worried about their power, are introducing new restrictions against Russia, while at the same time speculating on its resources. They're not fools. (Old Man, for example, didn’t even recognize Crimea)
    And Brix. - a new structure of neocolonialism. - raw materials in exchange for “beads of the 21st century” directly .. Right in VIKI there are these “Basic Theses of the Organization”

    I haven't been here for a long time... but, as I see, I haven't lost anything. Exactly the same collection of protestors of all stripes. One good thing is that you can easily track who did what when and how wassat
