According to him, an advance by the Russian army could cause a domino effect. “Ukrainian troops will have to withdraw, they may not be able to stand shoulder to shoulder,” RIA Novosti quotes the officer.
Reisner emphasized that a very difficult situation has been created for the Armed Forces of Ukraine: due to a serious shortage of ammunition, Ukrainian soldiers are unable to repel attacks by Russian fighters.
In the first quarter of this year the situation of the Ukrainian troops is critical, Reisner stressed.
Recall that earlier the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba complained that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had a huge shortage of ammunition. He noted that kyiv’s partners in the European Union did not pay enough attention to military production because they lived in an “era of peace” that had ended. Kuleba called on Europeans to increase weapons production.
Without Western help, the Ukrainian army could be defeated in late spring or early summer, former Deputy Chief of Staff of the Polish Army General Leon Komornicki is sure. To have at least a theoretical chance for military success, Ukraine must receive full assistance and not drip by drip, he added.
