Ukraine’s problem lies not in the number of weapons constantly supplied by Western countries, but in the size of the army and the population of the country, since Russia has an advantage in this. This view was expressed by German political scientist Wolfgang Merkel during a discussion on Spiegel magazine’s YouTube channel. DEA News.
According to him, Ukraine’s limited manpower capabilities will result in the country having no one else to mobilize the army.
According to the political scientist, in Russia at the moment one million people are “armed”, two million are in reserve, and if necessary, another 45 people can join the army.
“This is more than the population of all of Ukraine,” Merkel said, adding that this could be a decisive moment in the conflict.
Former Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation statedThat the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a large-scale offensive on five sectors of the front in the South-Donetsk direction on June 4.
