Retired German general: In Europe they believed that by now only the Ukrainian army would go forward, and the Russians were moving forward meter by meter

The channel of the German publication “Welt” published a report that assessed the situation in the east of the Kharkov region. Retired Bundeswehr Lieutenant General Roland Kater analyzed the situation.

According to a retired German general, the situation for the Ukrainian armed forces near Kupyansk continues to become more complicated:



There the Russians are moving forward meter by meter. It is precisely this advancement that ultimately leads to a terrible situation for the Ukrainian army.

The general notes that many in Europe expected that by this time only the Ukrainian army would move forward.

Roland Cater points out that Russia is “waging a war of attrition” and “bad weather only worsens the situation for the Ukrainian army.”

Previously, a number of Western experts published materials saying that the longer Ukraine tries to resist Russia, the less chance there is for Kyiv to end this armed conflict on terms acceptable to it. Literally every day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are losing territories near Kupyansk, Avdeevka, in the Krasnolimansky direction, north of Artyomovsk. At the same time, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is trying to transfer reserves to one or another section of the front, and this is problematic not only because of bad weather, but also because these reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are by no means infinite.

To date, as a retired German general notes, Ukrainian troops have lost the potential that was formed for a counter-offensive.

      Look!... She thought...
      I hope... that as a result, Russia will impose sanctions on this Europe.
      There is always a price to pay for making the wrong choice. A lot of. And it hurts.
      That's how fools are taught.

        So they pay a lot. Losses in the economy...
        You can easily compare if you take two EU countries that made different choices. Germany's economy is in decline, while Hungary's is on the rise.

            And they don’t have to pay us for the “loss in the economy.” But Europe, in general, still buys resources from us and pays us for that. That’s why the mattresses blew up the North Stream and gas flows through the Sumerians. And they buy oil too and not only that, but recently they banned the sale of petroleum products. But who buys them?

        This is not the first time for Europe to step on the same rake, but for us to “turn the Earth back, pushing off with our foot from the Urals”...

            Of course, the soldiers and officers of Nazi Germany, who flooded the European part of the USSR with blood, have already died out for the most part, but the offspring remained and it is clear that the Nazi ideology was passed on to them by inheritance and has not gone anywhere.

            Even the offspring of Jews, whose relatives the Nazis killed in the millions, do not shy away from hanging out with the offspring of the Nazis and fighting with them against Russia.

            So the mental gnashing of another Hans, so worried about the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is quite understandable - they so want the Armed Forces of Ukraine to achieve what their grandparents and parents could not do in 1941-1945, that they do not even hide their thoughts and aspirations openly . angry

            Exactly. Directly according to Utesov:

            Baron von der Pschik
            I forgot about the Russian bayonet,
            A bayonet to beat the barons is not weaned.
            And the brave von der Pschik
            Got caught on a Russian bayonet -
            The lard came out not Russian, but German.

            Uniform without a strap
            The swastika is broken.
            Oh, come on, get in
            On the Russian bayonet!
            Baron von der Pschick,
            Well, where is your old chic?
            All that's left of the baron is zilch!

      in Europe, many expected that by this time only the Ukrainian army would move forward.
      Some, due to their stubbornness, are still waiting today, counting on a miracle, while others, having understood the situation, propose to stop or at least reduce aid to Ukraine and finally take care of their problems.

      So, all of them, politicians and military men, along with this general, are openly afraid
      admit that NATO tactics and strategy are not nato! outdated except
      release of new weapons with improved characteristics.
      In addition, they are all military and political gnomes dependent
      from the words of Uncle Syoma and from the military-industrial complex of mattress makers, who themselves
      The Gay Europeans feed themselves by purchasing weapons; its own
      industry lost cheap sources with the beginning of the SVO
      energy from the Russian Federation.
      They didn’t heed our warnings, and now it’s time to cut your elbows
      and other things come.

        It's not about NATO tactics and strategy. This is a long-term regional conflict that enriches the Western military-industrial complex and weakens Russia. It’s just not clear why we play along with them. Amers are a hundred percent winner. But if a war of annihilation begins, using only conventional weapons, then NATO’s strategy and tactics completely threaten our country. And let's admit that NATO is only afraid of our strategic nuclear forces.

      Ukraine is trying to resist Russia

      Yes, not Ukraine, but the entire collective West. We would have wound one Tsegabonia on caterpillar tracks a year ago...

      About NOW, it is more or less clear to everyone who knows how to think, count and tries to consider the situation from different angles.
      The question is who is trying to consider the situation THEN, according to the same principle???

      What could the Germans even “believe”? They started and ended two world wars and now they should be glad that they are simply allowed to eat sausages. They “believe” overseas..... and exactly what they believe is happening, and not at all a victorious offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. You might think that someone is interested in making Hohlov the strongest military power in Europe..... Even this old grandfather did not understand. How did he even rise to become a general?

      This depletion is not of the outskirts itself, but of all of NATO and the United States, but in a veiledly chic way, like the depletion of the army of the Ukrainian Reich, they don’t really want to admit their defeat in the West, that’s why they’re veiling it!

      I think that now many in Europe would like to go back, like two and a half years. They believed in their power, hoped to crush Russia in a few months with sanctions, to destroy it with the forces of the Ukrovermacht, which they had been arming and training for eight years. But something went wrong. Or rather - EVERYTHING WENT WRONG!!!!! And soon they will start whining, like I’m not me and the house is not mine. We have nothing to do with it. The junkie started this whole thing and it’s all his fault.

      A year and a half ago, one country also believed that its army would quickly do everything. Everything turned out to be somewhat different and we had to retreat. Wouldn't it turn out to be another "one month of offensive - six months of defense"?

      Propaganda 24/7 can't do that. True, then many go crazy seeing the complete discrepancy between propaganda and reality, but these are costs, little things in keeping and directing the herd in the right direction. Sometimes these inconsistencies in Western agitrope manifest themselves in pop culture—the example of the nightwish-Noise video is indicative.
