Retired German general Harald Kujat, former commander of NATO troops, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were destroyed and Russia was preparing to attack Odessa. He shared this opinion in an interview. Youtube channel HKCM.
Kuyat explained that the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered heavy losses in the unsuccessful counter-attack of the Ukrainian army in the summer, while the Russian army carried out a successful defensive operation.
“Their goal is not to protect the territory at all costs, but to destroy the Ukrainian armed forces. This is Clausewitz’s basic rule: disarm the enemy – and then everything else will happen almost by itself. This is exactly what the Russian armed forces have achieved. For a few days the Russians have even been talking about active defense. This means they are preparing to attack,” Kuyat said.
A German general quotes military theorist Carl von Clausewitz. Kuyat notes the importance of the actions of the Russian army near Kupyansk and Krasny Liman, as well as the creation of an additional 25th combined arms army in the rear. According to the German general, the Russian army is preparing for a large-scale offensive in which Odessa will be taken under control and the Transnistria border will be reached.
