Key objectives were not met.
Russian Z-war correspondent Yuri Kotenok said that Moscow's strategic tasks have not been fulfilled in three and a half years of war. And they will not be fulfilled in the coming years.
This is reported by "Dialogue".
According to him, the Kremlin's announced attempts to "demilitarize" Ukraine, that is, to deprive it of military power, have not brought the expected result. On the contrary, the Ukrainians have strengthened during the war. Kotenok bluntly said that at the current speed of the offensive, capturing Donbass will take years.
"According to rough calculations, if we advance at the same pace, breaking the enemy's defenses, (...) we will go for years. Years! (...) If we move forward at this pace, gnawing out tens to hundreds of meters a day with blood and sweat, it will take us a year to a year and a half just to 'liberate' the territory of the DNR," the Kremlin propagandist complained.
He stressed that the key goals of aggression announced by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in 2022 have failed.
"The key goals, in my opinion, of the "SWO" are "demilitarization" of Ukraine and "denazification." How close we are to that, let's see. Three years have actually passed... If we speak seriously and frankly, we are at the beginning of a great journey, despite the fact that so much blood has been spilled, what losses, what destruction," Kotenok said.
He also stated a serious technological lag in the unmanned sphere.
"Ukraine is already actually in NATO, it is a NATO testing ground! (...) We still have a problem: the enemy is superior to us in terms of drones. Earlier at the beginning of this year we had a ratio of 1:4, i.e. there are 4 opponents for 1 of our drones. This is serious! (...) Consolidated Europe is actually working for Ukraine. There is a problem! And this is a drone war. Drones have changed literally everything," said Z-voyencor.
He complained that because of UAVs, the Russian occupants have a very difficult time on the front line.
"We have fighters who perform a combat task are often cut off from the main forces, because transportation is impossible. The supply spine is 10 kilometers, all this territory is controlled by enemy drones. They go 3-5 days without water and food. They shoot off the BC very carefully, because the exodus is already over," Kotenok said.
