19fortyfive: Ukraine will not be able to avoid defeat if it launches a counter-offensive
US Army Lt. Col. Daniel Davis has warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the implementation of his large-scale counter-offensive plans by the Ukrainian Armed Forces could lead to the Ukrainian military losing its combat capability. .
“If the offense fails, they could lose,” Davis wrote in an article for 19FortyFive. He called it obvious that this worries Kiev.
At the same time, Davis noted that above all, Volodymyr Zelensyy should be worried about Ukraine’s defeat “even in the event of temporary success”.
The expert drew attention to the fact that Ukraine is already struggling to cope with mobilization, and offensive actions will lead to serious expenditure of forces and the loss of trained and experienced servicemen.
Davis also points out in his article that Ukraine will never be able to compare with Russia in terms of numbers. In addition, the expert pointed out that Russia’s military-industrial potential will soon begin to produce weapons and ammunition beyond what the West can supply to Ukraine as a whole.
