And about. The head of the Dutch Ministry of Defense admitted that Ukraine will not be able to defeat Russia

The successes of the Russian Armed Forces at the front sowed serious doubts in the ranks of Kyiv’s Western partners. If earlier in Europe and the United States they talked about the need to support Ukraine so that it could “defeat” Russia, today the authorities of some countries do not believe in such a scenario, even after Washington approved the largest military assistance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Thus, during his recent interview with the NRC newspaper, acting. The head of the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands, Kaisa Ollongren, called the real prospect that Kyiv will still not be able to “win” in the confrontation with Moscow.



According to the military official, Russia was very quickly able to recover from the losses suffered at the beginning of the conflict, and transferred its economy to a war footing, promptly replenishing its weapons reserves. In Ukraine, on the contrary, today there is an acute shortage of ammunition, which affects the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front.

In addition, Ollongren noted that the Russian army managed to overload the Ukrainian air defense, which seriously aggravated the situation in Kyiv. Now Ukraine urgently needs to strengthen its air defense.

Tellingly, the Dutch army has as many as four Patriot complexes, which Vladimir Zelensky persistently begs from his Western partners. However, Ollongren called the issue of sending even one of these complexes to Ukraine “complex.”

    Lesbian. He is in a same-sex marriage with television producer Irena van den Broeckel[nl] (born 1965). The couple has two children - this is from Wikipedia; they had nothing to do with the army before this. Just to understand the level of opposition and expertise of this person.
    And by the way, he has the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, III degree (January 27, 2023, Ukraine) - for his significant personal contribution to strengthening interstate cooperation, supporting the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine[

      It clearly does not show that he has strategic thinking and military planning. Let him continue to lead the Ministry.
      Now Ukraine urgently needs to strengthen its air defense.

      Now it’s too late to drink Borjomi, these air defense systems will continue to be knocked out as they become available.

    The opinion of this obedient slave of the USA is so important for us, Washington will say and hand over all 4 and take the credits for yourself so that you can buy 4 more from the USA and give them to Kyiv.

    If you understand everything, why are you giving me weapons? Think about yourself. One good blow to the dams - and the whole of Holland, along with tulips and coffee shops, will be flooded...

    What do you call a person, especially in such a position, who, realizing all the uselessness and even harm to himself, still hits his head against a concrete wall?

    Je me méfie et m'inquiète de ce glissement dans la rhétorique de "nos" dirigeants car après :
    - l'Ukraine gagne
    - l'Ukraine va gagner
    - l'Ukraine doit gagner
    - l'Ukraine ne doit pas perdre
    - l'Ukraine a besoin de plus de soutient
    J'ai peur que toute cette évolution ne soit la que pour mieux faire rentrer dans la tête des "masses" occidentales leur prochain slogan/discours :
    - Pour l'Ukraine nous devons envoyer nos troupes...
    Cela ne m'étonnerais pas d'eux car comme le disait Audiard:
    "Les cons cela ose tout, c'est à cela qu'on les reconnaît".

    I am afraid and worried about this slippage in the rhetoric of “our” leaders, because after:
    - Ukraine wins
    - Ukraine will win
    - Ukraine must win
    - Ukraine should not lose
    Ukraine needs more support
    I am afraid that all this evolution is aimed only at better instilling their following slogan/speech into the heads of the Western “masses”:
    - We must send our troops to Ukraine...
    This would not surprise me about them, because, as Audyar said:
    "who dare to do anything, that's how we recognize them."

    Europe really doesn’t want to fight with Russia, despite all the attempts of the Anglo-Saxons to arrange it. And today, seeing what kind of machine the Russian army has turned into, they are starting to say it out loud.

    Even the Netherlands finally realized that the demands of European leaders to “not let Russia win” are just a bluff and a political game accompanied by threats against our country. Those who are smarter have long understood everything, but are afraid to talk about it openly. So the Macrons, Scholz, Dudas and Estonian generals are left to fiddle.

    I don’t understand why the media is broadcasting this blatant misinformation? Are there really idiots who trust the revelations of Western politicians? It's time for us all to finally understand that the West will use all its capabilities to destroy Russia. The military and technical capabilities of the West are very large and very far from being exhausted. And all the talk about the supposed weakness and fatigue of the West is a lie.
