Military expert Oleg Zhdanov told Radio NV that there was a week of counter -offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south. “We tried to define the enemy's defense and it was not as strong as it was talked about. That is why we have succeeded and develop it today. I am still following such a [thought], ”Zhdanov Radio HB said.

Video of the day he added that foreign media is talking about an active counter-offensive and "in any case there is a success, and we release the territories, our cities. " The military expert also expressed the opinion that the purpose of the Armed Forces in the South is the "demilitarization of the Russian army. " “The army is degraded not only in the South -Buzing direction, but in general in the Russian Federation. I mean both the quality of personnel and the quality of equipment and weapons.

To talk about some modernized Russian army today, I think, it is no longer worth it, ”Zhdanov said.
