This opinion was expressed in an interview with the French publication Depeche by the editor-in-chief of the magazine Défense nationale, General Jerome Pellistrandi.

In his opinion, Russia skillfully uses the weaknesses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to develop success in the offensive and capture more and more new positions.

“Putin ultimately prevents the Ukrainians from rebuilding their defenses,” the general said.

Earlier, Figaro said that the French army would not be able to cope with Russia in Ukraine.

Also, the adviser to the head of the office of Vladimir Zelensky, Mikhail Podolyak, announced the stagnation of Ukrainian troops at the front.
