Veteran of the US Armed Forces Draven said that the West is aware of the impossibility of defeating Russia in battle

On his Twitter page, he reacted to the statement of Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly that "the goal of her government is a change of power in Russia."

“The West knows that defeating Russia militarily is not an option because the West cannot defeat Russia on the battlefield,” Draven wrote.

According to him, Western countries will do what they always do - try to attack from the shadows, provoking riots and uprisings.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Western countries require the Kyiv regime to continue hostilities.

According to retired US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter, the defeat of Ukraine may occur in the summer of 2023 on the fronts due to problems with ammunition.
