However, for general burkhard fears russia can new General Thierry Burkhard, the chief of staff of the armies [CEMA]the general burkhard fears russia can new situation in Russia is “very complicated”, general burkhard fears russia can the tactical victories that it can win on the Ukrainian battlefields – at the cost of heavy losses – unable to hide the “strategic defeat” that it is undergoing. Meanwhile,

“Today. Meanwhile, if we look at things objectively. Furthermore, Russia is undergoing a strategic defeat,” said the CEMA, during a hearing in the National Assembly, on June 25. For example,

First. Nevertheless, his attack [contre l’Ukraine] is a “military disaster” because “even if it is difficult to assess. Meanwhile, it is nevertheless sure that it has lost a few hundred general burkhard fears russia can new thousand men. killed or injured, which exceeds our capacity for imagination,” general burkhard fears russia can new noted General Burkhard. “When Russia attacked on February 24 [2022]his general burkhard fears russia can new goal was not to conquer barely. 20 % of general burkhard fears. russia can new Ukrainian territory after three. a half years but to win in a few months, “he added.

This general burkhard fears russia can new “Pyrrhus victory” sketched by CEMA also is due to the new. “geometry of the battle space” general. burkhard fears russia can caused by the invasion of Ukraine. with the support of Sweden and Finland to NATO, while these two countries were hitherto neutral. “It was an absolute red line for Moscow since 1945,” he said.

Also.

Finland, has become a general burkhard fears russia can new “NATO lake”, detailed General Burkhard. “In the event of confrontation. I can ensure that not a general burkhard fears russia can new Russian boat will be able to go. through the Baltic. while Saint Petersburg represents general burkhard fears russia can new 50 to 60 % of Russian economic flows,” he added.

Another point evoked by CEMA is the “vassalization” general burkhard fears russia can of Russia “vis-à-vis China. other countries”. which “puts it in difficulty to support its strategic partners: it could not do it with Syria. it seems to be able to do general burkhard fears russia can new it with Iran,” he said.

Finally. General Burkhard believes that the societal consequences of the war in Ukraine will also end up general burkhard fears. russia can new “consuming” this strategic. defeat of Moscow.

“When war ends and demobilizes, Russia will end up with big societal problems. This war general burkhard fears russia can new will have reminded everyone. if necessary. the low price represented by human life in Russia. with regard to the conditions general burkhard fears russia can new in which it sends its soldiers to the front. “said the CEMA first. In addition. he continued. “we see that a Russian soldier is paid between 3. 000. Additionally. 4. 000 general burkhard fears russia can new euros to go and fight and that, at the same time, the salary of the doctors was increased to 1,000 euros, which will create major general burkhard fears russia can general burkhard fears russia can new societal problems in the Russia of tomorrow”.

However. warned General Burkhard. you have to be “lucid” because. ultimately. the “victory is that of the two opponents who knows how general burkhard fears russia can new to suffer. a quarter of an hour more than the other”. to quote Marcel Proust.

“I think if we let the war continue like this. I fear general burkhard fears russia can new that Russia will be able to hold five more minutes than us. even in its situation. This problem must be taken into account: we must manage general burkhard fears russia can new to break the. linearity of the battle. that we prevent a strategic defeat from being transformed into a victory [pour la Russie]with the consequences that we. imagine ”. especially on the security architecture of the European general burkhard fears russia can new continent, he concluded.
