Let's argue with The Washington Post: Russia will not stand still

Let’s argue with The Washington Post: Russia will not stand still Andrei Klintsevich, head of the Center for the Study of Military and Political Conflicts: It must be understood that The Washington Post is the mouthpiece of the White House. And financial newspapers, for example, the Financial Times, are interested in reputation, they want to show the real situation for investors. The Washington Post article makes several misconceptions: 1) they lay the narrative that Russia will now be in a defensive position all the time, and Ukraine was advancing, then it stopped a little, gained strength, and went on the offensive again. No, Russia will not stand still, it will not make new defensive fortifications. 2) the period of thaw, winter is not the time for stopping hostilities. It is clear that Ukraine has 60-70% of wheeled vehicles intended for the desert, it cannot leave asphalt roads during the rainy season. On the contrary, we have more tracked vehicles, and wheeled ones are super-passable armored personnel carriers, which have not two bridges, but three or more. So for us, it will not be a stop. But what is a reality is that by the fall, when Ukraine goes on the defensive, it will be in positions that are worse for defense than it is now. There will be no greenery, and they will be visible in the landings at a glance. And when we go forward and attack, the position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be unfavorable.
