‼️ ️Russians are now trying to use the tactics that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been implementing since the beginning of the war
The Russian army has lost combat capability.
Already by September, it lost combat capability. the result of the loss of this combat capability was the successful offensive actions of Ukraine in September, October & November, which led to the defeat of orcs in the Kharkiv & Kherson areas. Now we have the 4th phase of the war
The Russian command, has analyzed the heavy losses of its personnel army, mobilized, and is now trying to counter the Ukrainian ground war strategy with a similar strategy, similar tactics - the way the Ukrainian army successfully operated.
The Pentagon doubts that Russia will be able to achieve success in the war within a year
Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl made several statements during a hearing in the US Congress:
➡️Small parts of the territory will change hands in the coming weeks and months
➡️There is no indication that the Russians can take over all of Ukraine and make significant territorial gains at any time during the next year.
➡️ The war may end in six months, or it may last 2-3 years.
➡️ The Ukrainian military may receive Tornado, Gripen, or Mirage aircraft.
➡️ Pilot training on the F-16 takes 18 months, because "it makes no sense now to train Ukrainian pilots until a decision has been made on the supply of these fighters."
➡️ Russia does not have the resources to launch an unrestricted nuclear arms race.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine will be ready to launch a counter-offensive in the spring, and one of the strategic goals is to cut Russia off from Crimea," Vadim Skibitskyi, deputy head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, said.
According to him, one of the goals of the offensive will be to "drive a wedge" into the Russian front in the south: to cut off Crimea from the Russian mainland. He added that attacks on weapons warehouses located in RF, in particular, in the Belgorod region, aren't excluded.
"Attacks on Ukraine start from there. This poses a threat, for example, to Kharkiv," he said.
“We don’t need a world without Russia,” he emphasizes in an article for Izvestia. According to Medvedev, the West is deluded that it will be possible to destroy Russia without problems, as before the USSR.
✹ "The beginning of the tragedy that is now unfolding in Ukraine was initiated at the moment when the Soviet Union collapsed. After the heyday of the empire - a long way to the same final: disintegration and war. This is world law, the inexorable course of history. "
