“We have chosen a strategy of exhaustion and a strategy of waiting. The opponent has also chosen a strategy of exhaustion. But, you know, when the fat one dries up, the thin one will die,” emphasizes Oleg Starikov.
So, he argues, no matter how high the personnel level of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is, it will not be possible to withstand the Russian machine, which has gained momentum and is rolling like a steamroller across our territory, without the assistance of our strategic partners. Without military aid from the West, the expert notes, we will transition from a fifth-generation war to a fourth-generation war, which is precisely the type of war Russia is currently waging, slowly advancing.
According to him, time, unfortunately, is not on Ukraine's side, as we lose certain kilometers and meters of territory every day. And if someone thinks, the expert emphasizes, that the Russians will simply retreat from what they have occupied, that will not happen.
“There will be no second miracle of the House of Brandenburg. This happened during the Seven Years' War; I remind you that Elizabeth Petrovna was waging war against Frederick II, she died, and then Peter III ascended the throne, who was a fan of Frederick II, and that was it—the royal army retreated from what it had occupied. This was called a miracle of the House of Brandenburg in Prussia. Such a miracle will not happen. Waiting for Putin to die, or for a coup in Russia, and so on, I think is not worth it,” concludes Oleg Starikov.
As reported by Politeka, Bortnik stated that the situation is unfortunately more likely moving towards escalation than towards the end of the war.
