The former commander of US troops in Europe said that the only turning point in the war would be a declaration on victory of Ukraine as a strategic goal of the United States.
According to the general, politics or the weapons system are not the decisive factor in the war, the NBN publication reports with reference to RBC-Ukraine.
However, lifting restrictions on the use of ATACMS, Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles to hit targets in the Russian Federation is an important step that will allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to have more capabilities.
The NATO Senior Logistics Advisor recalled that, according to ISW, there are about 250 Russian Armed Forces facilities in the ATACMS kill zone on the territory of the terrorist state. Hodges believes that the defenders are striking the right targets and effectively using the capabilities provided by the allies.
The former commander of the US Armed Forces in Europe pointed out the importance of shelling the invaders' facilities in Crimea. The Ukrainian Armed Forces must make the peninsula unsuitable for use by Putin's army – this will be the first step towards its deoccupation.
Recall that Budanov answered whether the DPRK can increase its contingent in the Russian Federation to 100,000 soldiers.
