"The Russian army is not entering the cities to conquer them. They are afraid of getting stuck in them like a fly in marmalade." Says a military expert on HRT4 #UkraineUnderAttack#Ukraine#UkraineInvasion
What is the final goal of this attack? The can, of course, block the city of Kiev, food and water supply. They would have to respond for inhumane acts. Something is not right. There must be a trick to disguise another goal. Like to destroy the Ukrainian army.
Ukrainians are experienced in partisan battles. A large number of civilians have been armed. Solidarity is a strong motivator. (You can see the interview on Croatian TV or in the iHRT app)
The worst for the Russian army would be to lose pace. Also, the management of #Ukraine forces remains intact. Nobody knows where it is, but it is operational.
Nobody wanted to die for Sadam Hussein. Soldiers fled. Ukraine is very different. No one in the Russian army knows what to expect.
The phases of attack are 7 and 14 days. One phase us almost over.
The chechenians called to help do not have heavy arms. They could be used for "cleaning up" remaining parts in a conquered area. They are very experienced and not afraid of anyone.
The interview is held with a veteran of the Afghan war, Valerij Širjajev.
