Ukrainian Command-in-Chief General Valery Zaluzhny has admitted that the war he’s fighting has reached a stalemate. General Zaluzhny shared his opinions on the current Ukrainian counter-offensive and said that he made a mistake in assuming he could end the war by bleeding Moscow’s manpower until it led to a Russian defeat. Making estimates about Russian casualties is difficult since Moscow does not provide any official statistics on its dead and wounded soldiers. One of the best estimates we have comes from leaked U.S. documents earlier this year. “Just like in the First World War we have reached the level of technology that puts us into a stalemate,” the general explained, adding that there “will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.” Is Ukraine slowly admitting defeat ?
