Vladimir Putin’s troops have been attacking Ukraine for about a year. A journalist is now analyzing how the warmonger will proceed.
“The delivery of arms is going more bumpily than one would have liked,” journalist Denis Trubetskoy describes the mood in Kiev in the war-torn country. He cannot understand that there is criticism that Ukraine is asking for more and more weapons, as he explained to moderator Marie-Claire Zimmermann on ORF “ZIB2” late on Sunday evening. Because Russia has switched to a war economy and is producing weapons non-stop, it is “only natural that Ukraine is asking for weapons.” Russia is also relying on a tactic that would claim many lives.
With prisoners under the control of the Wagner group and other poorly trained soldiers, Ukrainian positions will be stormed – no matter how high the losses are. Trubetskoy once again emphasized that Ukraine is hoping for the delivery of fighter jets, which would play an enormously important role in strengthening anti-aircraft defenses and missile interception from Day 1. US fears that China could supply arms to Russia would “greatly disappoint” Ukraine, the journalist said. So far, Vladimir Putin has been very isolated with partners like Iran and North Korea.
“Very, very long war”
“With China, that would of course be a problem for Ukraine,” said the expert. The question is also what weapons it would be. However, Trubetskoy did not see a quick end to the war, Russia was planning “a very, very long war and further waves of mobilization”, regardless of whether these were publicly known or carried out covertly.
In general, there is “no sign at all” that Russia will stop, the journalist said. At the same time he was “quite optimistic” about the local war situation. Ukraine is preparing offensives in the rear and the citizens are behind it.
Also in the show had an appearance by the way Journalist Marina Ovzyannikova. Through their live protest against the military operation in the Ukraine TV journalist who became famous at the beginning of the war is on the wanted list in Russia because she went to Paris despite being chained. She told of her escape: On a Friday, when the Russian security forces are typically not so attentive, she fled with her daughter, “changed vehicles seven times” and had to “orientate himself by the stars” without a cell phone network.
