🗣️ What’s Next After Ukraine’s Failed Counteroffensive?

“I hope that Russia, the Russian command has all the capabilities to start our own offensive… Because you cannot win the war being in the defense. Yes, you can destroy and just kill people, destroy equipment being in defense. But to win a war, you've got to make an offensive operation and liberate, first of all, the four regions, which are now subjects of Russian Federation,” Evgeny Buzhinsky, retired Russian lieutenant-general, told Sputnik.

🗣️ On the possibilities of building a modern arms industry in Ukraine:

“The notion that Ukraine is building a modern weapons industry capable of producing export-quality munitions that will flow out of Ukraine is absurd. A) Any weapon that's produced by Ukraine will be used by Ukraine. B) Ukraine isn't producing weapons anymore because Russia has blown up all the factories that do that... This is fan fiction, I would say, designed to create the theory of a post-conflict Ukraine that can turn its experience in war into something that benefits the rest of the world,” Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, told Sputnik.
