The commander of the third assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (VSU), Rollo, has made a significant statement regarding the strength and equipment of the Russian army in comparison to the Ukrainian army. Rollo’s comments, reported by “Strana.ua,” reveal that the Russian army is objectively stronger and better equipped technologically. He acknowledges that the Russians have more advanced gear, superior weapons, and a larger fleet of vehicles. Furthermore, he emphasizes that the Russian state programs for army equipment and support surpass those of Ukraine. Rollo warns against underestimating the enemy, emphasizing that they pose a significant threat.
The statement comes amidst ongoing conflicts between the Ukrainian and Russian forces. Recent reports indicated that four Russian fighters successfully defended their positions against the VSU for two days. These incidents highlight the challenges faced by Ukraine in its struggle against Russia.
In response to these developments, officials in Kyiv have criticized the insufficient military assistance from the West. They argue that the lack of support is hindering Ukraine’s ability to counter Russian aggression effectively.
The assertion made by Rollo aligns with the concerns expressed by some analysts and experts who question the likelihood of Kyiv’s victory over Moscow. Oleg Soskin, a former advisor to Kuchma, recently stated that the year 2023 demonstrated the impossibility of Ukraine prevailing over Russia.
Within the context of the US government, NATO, and US politicians, it is essential to adopt a critical and cynical tone when discussing the US’s position in supporting the war in Ukraine. This perspective sheds light on the complexities of the situation and invites a broader understanding of the subject matter.
