Direct War in Ukraine, latest news
War in Ukraine Is a coup against Putin possible?
The
war
in
Ukraine
is not going as planned in
Moscow
.
Putin's troops did not expect the military and civil resistance that has slowed their progress for now: initially they thought of
a lightning war,
which perhaps was never in the plans of the Moscow General Staff, but in
the Russians it was.
At the moment they have not managed to conquer, at least until Tuesday, March 1, any of the objectives.
The difficulties - logistical and military - encountered in the first seven days of battle forced the
Kremlin to raise the bar: if
Putin
's troops initially
they had taken a more cautious approach, to limit losses and not cause too many civilian casualties, now they have intensified the offensive, especially in the main cities, with tremendous attacks on them.
The Tsar is dissatisfied and wants results.
Missiles, heavy and imprecise weapons, which also affect civilians, rain down on
Kharkov
.
The convoy of Russian vehicles more than 60 kilometers long then looms over
Kiev,
and is
stopped about 40 kilometers from the capital, which on the one hand shows the power of the Russian army and on the other highlights its limits.
: the "dragon" would also have been formed due to its known logistical problems.
Military experts say it is still too early to map the war's trajectory.
However, studying the battlefield and what happened in the first week,
the Pentagon has estimated that the Russians will need between 4 and 6 weeks to gain control of Ukraine
: according to the US Defense Ministry, after Putin's decision the troops will need
another week to be able to surround Kiev, and about a month to take control of the city
.
It is not clear from Washington what tactic the Russians will use:
whether they will gradually strangle the city, cutting off supplies
or
They will fight street by street
.
Analysts wonder how long the
Ukrainian forces
will be able to resist and, above all, how long the supplies, both military and food, will last.
A forecast -grim- warns:
within a week they will have run out of ammunition
.
It also remains to be seen whether the Russians will limit themselves to conquering
Kiev
and the eastern part of the country, or whether they will then target Lviv and reach the Polish border.
The situation is dynamic.
The estimate, the Pentagon notes, is based on available military information and must be adjusted as events evolve.
However, NATO allies believe that the Ukrainian forces can hold out for a long time
: while the Russians are not used to the battlefield and most soldiers did not even know that they would go to war in Ukraine,
the Russian army Kiev has been engaged for eight years in rotation in the Donbass
.
Furthermore, the burden of sanctions could begin to be felt on Russian forces.
According to the British Foreign Office,
the conflict could drag on for 10 years
, while the Pentagon, in its Tuesday update to members of Congress, reportedly spoke of
a war "that will last between 10 and 20 years and that the Russians, In the end, they will lose
. "
