You can list "facts" as much as you like that there are some difficulties in Russia. Of course they are. Such a huge and complex economy cannot simply be turned from west to south and east at the snap of a finger without some difficulties and overlaps. But the main thing has already happened - instead of falling apart and begging the West for mercy, the Russian economy has withstood the sanctions strike and is even showing growth. Try to disprove this fact.
Yes, the main thing has already happened. If at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin demanded that NATO collect its belongings and get out to the positions of 1997, now we are arguing that Russia is not giving up now and with great difficulty withstands the sanctions strike. Moreover, Russia is now fighting with only one Ukrainian army, but with financial, material and military assistance from other countries.
On the territory of Ukraine, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, today a Russian group of about 370 thousand people, 20 thousand national guards and about 7 thousand various paramilitary formations are involved. That is, although the number of invaders even increased compared to the approximately 200,000-strong invasion group, the quality of manpower and equipment has already seriously fallen. The potential for offensive operations of the Russian army is absolutely exhausted, now they have a serious potential only for defense. Yes, and that is temporary. There was information that the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Shoigu was ordered to retreat from Bakhmut by 30 kilometers in order not to advance, but to defend himself. For about a year, Russia has been trying to capture a small town in the Donbass, and the “second army of the world”, having put the most professional part of its army there, is now forced to retreat.
The Russian army, as well as any actions of Russia, are extremely idiotic. Now I will explain what I mean.
I constantly communicate with our guys from the Armed Forces of Ukraine on various issues. So the new wave of offensive that Russia "invented" and launched this year came down to two key concepts:
1. We do not care how many of our citizens (Russians) will die, but the tasks must be completed.
2. We don’t know how to fight, our second army of the world is a fake, so we just bombard everything around with shells, demolish everything to the ground level, we will call it “liberation”.
So they do. You can see, for example, a photo of the city of Marinka, after the "liberation" ...
For every square meter of land, they have several of their dead soldiers or criminals from the Wagner PMC. And for understanding - this town has been "liberated" by the "second army of the world" for 10 months already.
Actually, now the army of the terrorist country has 2 problems, as a result of two idiotic decisions:
1. Huge loss of manpower and equipment. HUGE! Officially, more than 200.00 killed servicemen of the Russian army have already been confirmed. Thousands more, if not tens of thousands, are lying around the fields and forests, Russia does not take them away. About 50,000 more killed mercenaries-criminals of PMC Wagner ... There is nothing to attack, mobilization in Russia failed miserably ... There are less and less idiots to go to die for Putin's painful fantasies. Well, the picture turns out: there is nothing to attack, it is necessary to go on the defensive. And here is the second problem.
2. After the total destruction of settlements in Ukraine, the army of terrorists ... did not leave rear areas and areas for themselves to form a reliable defense. There is simply nowhere to gain a foothold and hide - EVERYTHING IS DESTROYED by their own hands!
And now Ukraine is beginning to smoothly, systematically, clearly simply destroy the manpower and equipment of the demoralized army of the terrorist country, pursuing and destroying them.
PS. If you have someone decided to go to serve for the "Russian world", and went to Ukraine - tell them to immediately surrender. For those crimes that terrorists from Russia committed in Ukraine, they will not be taken prisoner in battle ... I don’t explain the details, I think you yourself understand what awaits the occupiers in Ukraine ...
