According to him, conditions are already developing for the victory of the Russian Armed Forces at the front.

Ritter noted that victory was ensured by the courage of Russian soldiers who repelled attacks by Ukrainian forces during the counteroffensive, RIA Novosti reports.

He emphasized that the West is using Ukraine to weaken Russia, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already lost.

“Ukraine is burning through its military reserves and is becoming weaker every day, while Russia’s military-industrial complex is actively working,” Ritter said at a press conference at the international multimedia press center of the Rossiya Segodnya media group.

Earlier, British historian Neil Ferguson said that Russian troops would make a decisive breakthrough in 2024.
