Philip Breedlove stressed that the military leadership of the occupiers is extremely inefficient.
The plan of the Russian army's offensive in Ukraine was wrong from the very beginning, and the Russian military leadership still continues to make the wrong strategic decisions. This opinion was expressed by the former Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, General Philip Breedlove.
During a special military panel at the Kyiv Security Forum, the US military said that the Russians did not expect such resistance in Ukraine and made a number of important mistakes that significantly affected their current positions.
” In the north near Kiev, Russia's campaign failed. In my opinion, they came to fight a war they were not ready for. We expected one, but got something completely different. The Ukrainians gave them a good beating. The Russians suffered a crushing defeat there, “Breedlove said.
The general stressed that the failure near the capital has severely shaken the morale of the Russian army. In addition, he noted that the military leadership of the Russian Federation is extremely inefficient.
“We rely heavily on the training of our soldiers and sergeants. This provides great endurance on the battlefield. We decide a lot at the level of sergeants. And the Russians are completely different. Therefore, your troops may be smaller, but on the battlefield they are commanded by much more skilled young leaders. Ukraine can be proud of this, but Russia does not have it at all, “Breedlove concluded.
