"The Russians have a big problem." Ukraine can deopen Kherson by winter - French General

The former head of the French military mission at the UN General Dominic Treincwan believes that Ukraine's counter -offensive in the south is successfully unfolding and if there is no unexpected turns, the Ukrainian forces may be decommissioned by Kherson by October.

In an interview with France 24, he stated that Ukraine was methodically preparing for a counter -offensive, which could be seen from its previous actions: the destruction of warehouses and command points of Russian troops through long -range weapons, as well as the activities of the guerrilla movement. Video of the Day "Russians seem impressed with the methods used. The destruction of ammunition warehouses and logistics points, especially the railways, was substantially shaken.

Now, if the troops located west from the Dnieper will not receive shells, they will not be able to defend themselves. If they no longer receive stocks, it will be critical for some units, ”Trincwan notes. He also believes that many Russian soldiers prefer to escape from the battlefield than resistance, since some of them "are on the battlefield for four to five months, have not been replaced and are probably in bad form. " “Now the Russians have a big problem with human resources.

They try to recruit many people, but Putin, who does not want to declare war, cannot issue a mobilization decree. He still wants to make the impression that everything goes normally, ”the general says. According to Treincwan, "by winter Ukrainians can take control of the entire right bank of the Dnieper, including the city of Kherson.
