The Ministry of Defense said that the Russian Armed Forces will defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the event of a counter-offensive

Russian military personnel will completely defeat the Ukrainian Armed Forces if Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky gives the order for a new counter-offensive. This was reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reference to a high-ranking source in the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The department commented on the recent statement of the Ukrainian leader, who admitted to preparing a new offensive plan. The source recalled that during the last counteroffensive, more than 166 thousand military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed and wounded, and Kyiv also lost almost 800 tanks, about 2.4 thousand armored vehicles and 132 aircraft.

In addition, the Ministry of Defense recalled that Ukraine cannot independently produce the necessary equipment and weapons, which is why it places responsibility for providing the army on the West.

“Thanks to such non-trivial approaches to military planning, there is no need to doubt that the implementation of Zelensky’s new counter-offensive plan will end in complete disaster for Ukraine with the final defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the beginning of the path to peace on Russian terms,” the ministry concluded.

Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky said that Ukraine is preparing a plan for the next counter-offensive, which includes “the destruction of the Crimean Bridge.” At the same time, the Ukrainian leader also acknowledged the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donetsk direction.
