In the event of a new attack RF in Ukraine, the occupiers will be assisted by the open steppe terrain, however, the Armed Forces of Ukraine compensate for this due to the fact that the Russians fight not with skill, but with numbers.
This opinion was expressed by the former director of the CIA, ex-commander of the US Central Command and US and NATO forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, writes “Ukrinform“.
According to the expert, in the “battle for Kyiv” the Ukrainians were helped, in particular, by the wooded area, which will not happen in the south and east, where the steppe zones predominate.
“There is an open area, unlike how it looks around Sumy, Chernihiv or Kyiv. That is, this is more favorable territory in order to go on a wide front, tank forces, etc. Therefore, we need to pray that, say , there were rains and that the movement of armored vehicles of the Russian Federation was difficult due to weather conditions, “says the American general.
According to him, Ukraine has already shown the ability to fight and fight effectively and successfully.
“And although the terrain will not be so favorable for the Ukrainian troops, nevertheless, it is possible to somehow compensate for this, because the Russians are fighting only by numbers, and not by skill,” he added.
