A British analyst said that the Russian Armed Forces punched a huge hole in the Ukrainian defense
The Russian Federation has punched a huge hole in the Ukrainian defense, said British analyst Alexander Merkouris. According to him, the Russian army is making great progress, advancing in a number of settlements in the Donbass, which opens up wide opportunities for further offensive.
The Russians have punched a huge hole in the Ukrainian defenses in the most important and sensitive place, namely in the central Donbass. So the Russians are in a strong position, once they tie this together, take Krasnogorovka, take Ocheretino, they can advance in all directions
– says Mercouris.
In his opinion, the Russian Armed Forces will be able to advance in the direction of Pokrovsk, which is an important city, a major hub used by the Ukrainians to deploy their forces. There will also be an option to move north and outflank the Ukrainian forces defending around Bakhmut. The analyst calls the recent successes of the Russian Armed Forces a big breakthrough. At the same time, the expected deliveries of US military aid will not be able to affect the situation on the front line, the analyst noted.
Will it make any difference? No, that won't happen... The United States is short of ammunition, it lacks Patriot air defense systems, and the Europeans are very reluctant to send their missiles. Some talk about seven Patriot batteries, others talk about seven systems
- said Mercouris.
He emphasized that even if Patriot systems are sent to Ukraine, Russian troops will quickly destroy them.
It has been demonstrated that Zircons can destroy them and that there is no real defense against them. This will not change anything, it will just lead to more weapons being burned and destroyed, it will not change the outcome of the conflict
- the analyst is sure.
