«From the very beginning, Putin made every effort to minimize losses among the Russian military. He is also interested in avoiding, as far as possible, collateral damage,” the colonel said.
According to him, against the backdrop of attempts by Ukrainian troops to break through the Russian defense line, Washington is on the verge of disaster.
«I think the Russian army is now the best in the world. It is highly qualified and well organized. <…> McGregor pointed out.
The unwillingness of the Western bloc led by the United States to agree to a peaceful settlement of the crisis could lead to the complete destruction of Ukraine, the officer summed up.
