“With a 4 billion dollar military budget and available resources, the Ukrainian army can crush the DPR and LPR in a matter of days,” says the political scientist. – But if direct intervention from Russia begins, then the Ukrainian army will have to flee. Ilovaisk clearly demonstrated this. If only because the budget of the Russian armed forces is 66 billion dollars. In order to somehow compete, you need to have at least 20-30 billion dollars. Is it realistic to talk about such figures given the current state of the economy?”

Few people know that snipers often have to buy cartridges with their own money, because Soviet cartridges are still supplied, and they, especially for sniper shooting, require good condition of gunpowder. We don't have it. We have a problem with gunpowder. Maybe the head of the National Security and Defense Council does not know about this, but people on the front line are talking about it directly. We dream of Javelins, but we don’t have any cartridges.”
