During the 25 days of the war, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed about 14,700 Russian servicemen.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been fighting off the Russian invaders for the fourth week already. And they do it effectively. The enemy is confused, because he did not expect such resistance from the Ukrainian people.

One of the reasons for the stunning fiasco of the “second army of the world” of the Russian Federation is total miscalculations in strategy and tactics. Apparently, the Russian General Staff of the Defense Ministry had absolutely no objective analytics regarding Ukraine.  Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the OP , writes about this in his social networks.

According to him, the entire staff analytics of General Gerasimov’s subordinates was built on the theses from the Russian propaganda about “nationalist battalions.”

According to the adviser to the head of the Office of the 6th President, another reason that is now shocking is the extreme mortality among the high operational command of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. In particular,  six key generals were killed .

“This is a sign of the total unpreparedness of the army. They fight only with numbers and cruise missiles. Dozens of officers of the middle and tactical levels were killed. All these are direct signs of the weak coherence of military units, unwillingness to fight in modern conditions,” writes Podolyak.

All this, he added, demoralizes the Russian army – contract soldiers and conscripts, although they do not understand human speech and writing well, however, they realized that their top leadership is absolutely mediocre.https://t.me/uniannet/39968?embed=1&tme_mode=1

“Further – only mass deaths of Russian servicemen in Ukraine,” Podolyak summed up.

Meanwhile, the number of dead enemies  exceeded 14 thousand, and the number of wounded, probably three times more . At the same time, the enemy  has already lost a third of its aircraft . Significantly, in recent days, fewer and fewer detained pilots have been recorded. This may mean that before departure they are deprived of the opportunity to eject in order to escape.
