🗣Ukraine’s military exhausted while NATO weapons won’t turn the tide – retired colonel

The Ukrainian army is in a critical condition and can no longer conduct large-scale operations, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at a Beijing press conference.

🔍 What are the signs?

Across all fronts, the Russian military is making advances, while Ukrainian forces show signs of exhaustion, military expert and retired colonel Anatoliy Matviychuk tells Sputnik.

🟠 "Near Kupyansk, the enemy deployed the 1st Presidential Brigade — the so-called 'ceremonial brigade.' Deploying units that are usually reserved for ceremonial duties indicates the depletion of the enemy’s reserves."

🟠 Ukrainian POWs say that companies are staffed at 40–45%, and battalions even less.

🟠 On the Pokrovsk front, Ukraine is redeploying units — including the 95th Brigade — from Sumy, pulling already battle-worn troops to plug emerging gaps.

🟠 "On the Kharkov and Kupyansk fronts, units of Latin American mercenaries have appeared. Typically, mercenaries are reserved for special tasks. Their deployment as regular line units indicates a lack of reserves and resources."

👉 No wonder-weapon can change the situation

"A 'wonder-weapon' always implies a shift from quantity to quality," explains Matviychuk. "The enemy has no quantity. Even the missiles they try to present as new — like the Italian-made 'Flamingo' — are being supplied in tiny numbers."

The US ATACMS missiles also arrive in small batches — 10, 20, at most 30 rockets.

Those missiles are largely used for propaganda of Ukrainian ‘success,’ but they won’t change the course of the fighting on the battlefield, the military expert concludes.
