Oleg Soskin, a former adviser to Leonid Kuchma, said on his YouTube channel that the Ukrainian army cannot attack due to lack of weapons, personnel and missiles needed to strike at a distance of 150 kilometers.
He noted that at least 100,000 people, 200 tanks, 300-400 infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and plenty of artillery and shells are needed for a strike force.
“All intelligence agencies say that Ukraine is not ready. Everyone understands that the strike force should be at least 100,000 people, about 25 brigades, at least 200 tanks, somewhere around 300-400 infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, HIMARS , artillery, shells. Also, you definitely need missiles that hit 150 kilometers away. Appropriate means must be available. If they are not, then how to attack? asked the expert.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal regularly announces an imminent counterattack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which could occur in spring or summer. At the same time, the Zaporizhzhia region is called one of the directions for reaching the coast of the Sea of Azov. In turn, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that the Russian military carefully monitors all statements and takes them into account when planning their actions. Such statements can only influence the situation in the region.
