Ritter: military potential allows Russia to destroy Ukraine in one day
Former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter commented on Russia's military capabilities. He said this in an interview with the Dialogue Works YouTube channel.
Ritter assessed the military potential of Russia and emphasized that the military countries have such power that they could destroy Ukraine in a day. "Russia has made it clear that it can make Ukraine disappear in one day using conventional weapons," he said.
The former military man emphasized that Moscow does not consider such a scenario. According to him, the Russian military is currently winning on the battlefield, so they have no reason to change tactics. Ritter added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are undermanned because men are fleeing — they have to be caught and sent to a combat zone.
Earlier, Ritter warned France about the consequences of sending its military personnel to Ukraine. "The Russian military will wipe you off the face of the earth, and this is what France must understand," he said. Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron once again confirmed his intention to send troops to Ukraine.
