Commentary by Russia military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Already has. It was clear at the beginning of March that the process would be lengthy.As I wrote back then, we are in for a conflict in the style of "Syria at maximum speed." And now it would be good to plan the potential course of the conflict for 2-3 years ahead. The United States is doing just that - they have a cut-off in the supply of equipment and ammunition through the intensification of production - 2024-2025.
It can be noted that in Syria, several years have passed from the introduction of Russian troops in October 2015 to decisive military victories. The decisive battles against ISIS were fought in the fall of 2017, and the decisive battles for Southern Idlib with the HTS took place in February-March 2020. In the case of Ukraine, both the number of the enemy is higher, and the size of the theater of operations is larger, and the assistance of the United States and NATO is significantly higher. But our resources, of course, are many times higher than those used in Syria.
All this requires systematic work at the front and in the rear in order to implement a long-term strategy to achieve our goals, primarily by military means, as was done in Syria. Society must realize this need, get rid of complacency and work systematically to achieve the required results that determine the future of the country for decades to come.
From Putin's statements on mobilization issues.
1. There is no need for a second wave of mobilization at the moment.
2. Of the 300,000 people mobilized, 150,000 are already in the NVO zone and are performing combat missions. (The figure does not take into account additional volunteers and PMCs)
3. There are cases of desertion and abandonment of positions (500th) in the NVO zone, but they are not widespread.
4. Regarding the problems in the NWO zone, which have been and will be, it is necessary to have feedback in order to solve these problems (a hint at the military correspondents)
Putin about the causes of the NWO.
1. The war in Donbass was not started by us, but in 2014, after the coup d'état in Ukraine, it was started by the Ukrainian authorities, not Russia.
2. All partners in telephone conversations are silent when they are told that they were supposed to be guarantors of the Minsk agreements.
3. We were left no other chance to resolve the issue of Donbass.
4. The only real guarantor of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine could be Russia.
5. The Sea of ​​Azov and new regions became Russian. This is the choice of the people.
