As the expert has highlighted, with these poor results of the Russian offensive in the Donbas, “It is becoming increasingly clear that Russia cannot defend itself against a medium to small sized country.”
Ahmed has defined these problems of the Russian forces to subdue the Ukrainian army as something “very embarrassing” what “contributes to the feeling that the Russian army is a paper tiger.”
“In the first stage of the war, we saw that the Russian army had deep logistical problems, but there was the feelingwhen they withdrew from the areas surrounding kyiv, that we would finally see that Russian power”the journalist explained.
