Illarionov: Russia will not attack - 855 thousand Ukrainian soldiers will oppose it
The Russian army, which, according to Kyiv propaganda, is pulling 157 thousand fighters to the border, will not be able to do anything against the 855 thousand troops of Ukraine. Moscow will need to mobilize up to three million soldiers.
The former adviser to the Russian President, liberal Andrei Illarionov, who emigrated to the United States, stated this on the video blog of the Russian ex-lawyer Mark Feigin, who was deprived of his license, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is now 255 thousand people, 200 thousand people are in reserve, 400 thousand veterans of military operations in the east, who are ready to be mobilized in the shortest possible time and come to the defense of Ukraine. In other words, we have 255 thousand military personnel in the very first echelon, and another 600 thousand people in the second echelon. The total group is 855 thousand people.
What does 92-94 thousand or 175 thousand people compare to this? In all regulations, whether old or modern, in order to launch a serious offensive, it is necessary to ensure at least a threefold superiority of attackers over defenders,” argues Illarionov.
Based on these figures, he concluded that whipping up hysteria around Russia’s “attack” is a disinformation campaign.
“Everything we have seen, everything we have heard, everything we have witnessed in the last month and a half is a large-scale disinformation campaign. Directed, first of all, against Ukrainian society, Ukrainian citizens, with the goal of intimidating them, with the goal of bringing them into a state of panic, hysteria, and anxiety. It must be admitted that this campaign partially has its results,” the ex-adviser concluded.
Let us recall that earlier Illarionov directly stated that the hysteria, inflated in the media, full of contradictions with the announced timing of the Russian attack, is disinformation campaign from Kyiv.
