| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] Retired US Army lieutenant colonel Davis: APU access to the Sea of ​​Azov will cause the collapse of Ukraine An attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to break through to the Sea of ​​Azov could cause the defeat of Ukrainian troops and their loss of combat capability, retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis said in an interview with Svobodnaya Pressa, evaluating the option of Ukraine's counteroffensive. He believes that such an operation could affect the viability of the country. The lieutenant colonel explained that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, having no air support, would lose a large number of military equipment and experienced fighters due to the offensive. At the same time, Davis believes that even if successful in this battle, Ukraine will still lose to Russia in the end. He noted that the RF Armed Forces are superior to Kyiv both in terms of the number of troops and in armament. The expert suggested that the Armed Forces of Ukraine might even try to capture Mariupol, but the Ukrainian troops have no experience in storming cities. In addition, Davis added that Ukraine is hatching more ambitious plans in the form of a breakthrough to the Sea of ​​Azov in order to cut off the land corridor to the Crimea. As REGNUM reported earlier, The New York Times wrote earlier that secret US documents on the state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO plans to strengthen Ukrainian troops for the counteroffensive were leaked to the Web. We are talking about more than a hundred materials dated early March. The Pentagon has launched an investigation into the situation. On April 7, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the seizure of Crimea by Kiev should be considered as a non-alternative option for the whole world. |
