War in Ukraine remains war of attrition, winner of which cannot be determined at moment - Chairman of EU Military Committee Briger
To regain all the territories seized by Russia, Ukraine needs more military resources.
This was stated by the chairman of the EU Military Committee Robert Briger in an interview with Die Welt, Censor.NET reports with reference RBC-Ukraine.
"It remains to be seen whether Ukraine's full sovereignty can be restored with the resources available," Briger said.
Regarding Ukraine's counter-offensive, which has been ongoing since June, Briger said he would "cautiously wait for Ukrainian forces to break through Russian defence lines".
The number of brigades at Kyiv's disposal for the offensive is small. Russia, on the other hand, has had months to create dense and well-fortified defensive lines."
The head of the EU's military affairs committee considers the current situation to be a war of attrition, the winner of which cannot yet be determined.
"I would like to see this war end in Ukraine's military success, but that is not a forecast that can be made," Briger said.
In his opinion, Russia is capable of waging war in Ukraine "for a very long time", and Moscow's military capabilities have not been greatly affected by Western sanctions.
"In addition, Russia has a huge mass of weapons and huge potential reserves of personnel," the general says, pointing out that in these areas Moscow has a clear advantage over Kyiv.
