The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is looking for a quick peace agreement to end the war unleashed by the Russian presuction, Vladimir Putin, in Ukraine. For this, it is based on the fact that the conflict is stagnant and both parties should be satisfied with which Russia retains 20% of the country in order to end the growing number of deaths of combatants and civilians.
However, the evaluation of the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (Sandeur), the American general Christopher Cavoli, differs. This, based on the best information in American intelligence, painted a more nuanced scenario from where the war is after three years of fighting, according to the .
Cavoli, who retires this summer after 38 years in uniform, said that although “isolated groups” of Russian troops seem highly trained, in general, the quality of their land forces “has been decreasing throughout the conflict.”
“On the Ukrainian side, we see rather the opposite,” he testified. “We see an army that started practically from scratch … and has evolved and has developed very, very fast,” he added. While Cavoli toured what is known as “Flot”, the first line of troops, described a Ukrainian force that has largely entrenched in highly defense positions while Russian troops fight to move forward suffering great casualties.
“There is a force [ucraniana] Considerable that it maintains a reduced but considerable portion of territory within Russia, in Kursk’s shown, at this time. And they remain in a very good defensive field, “Cavoli said.” This is where the Russians introduced North Korean troops to help expel Ukrainians. They set the initial objective to expel the Ukrainians from Kursk at the end of September. Today, the Ukrainians are still in Kursk, “he said.
In other areas, including the eastern cities of Toretsk and Pokrovsk, “Russian offensives have practically decreased. They have not managed to gain ground in the last two weeks. In fact, Ukrainians have recovered some land,” he added.
