Therefore, Russia was unable to quickly and peacefully resolve the conflict.”Russia has vastly underestimated the strength of the Ukrainian army,” he said.Markov noted that Russia had no idea that the countries of Europe and the United States would converge in the context of the confrontation between the Russian Federation.
