Richard WilliamsRetired Colonel of the US Army and former High Command of NATO, has shown in a skepticism about the viability that Ukrainian troops achieve a victory in a long war of wearsuggesting that The country should take a radical turn to its military approach.
Although he acknowledges that Ukrainian forces are causing lower than Russians, he points out that Moscow has “almost infinite reserves that she considers expendable”which, from his point of view, gives him a great advantage.

But, as Putin has a seemingly inexhaustible reservation, It is unlikely that Ukraine ultimately prevails in a defensive and static warning war“, says the retired colonel.

What can Ukraine do to reverse the situation?
Williams insists that The current approach is “stagnant” y does not offer success perspectives For Ukraine: “You can’t even win indefinitely in this tactical configuration”.
To deal with this problem, it urges kyiv’s troops to develop a maneuvering strategy focused on exploiting Russian weaknesses through Surprise attacks and rapid actions: “Ukraine now You need to snatch the initiative to the enemy“.” Change the game to get the results you want to achieve! “He exclaims.
This, he details, requires go from “concentrating forces against force to apply a concentrated force against the vulnerabilities of the opponentcreating unexpected situations and anticipating the enemy through rapid action and reaction cycles to obtain positional advantages. “
