Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern once again made his prediction about the Russia-Ukraine conflict on social media: "We just need to be patient for a while. In a few months, the Ukrainian army will no longer exist."
So does Russia believe Ray McGovern's prediction? No. Russian observer Alexei Volodin pointed out that statements like "the Ukrainian regime is about to collapse, no one will give Zelenskyy money tomorrow or the day after, weapons will soon run out, soldiers are fleeing, and the morale of the Ukrainian armed forces is low" are just "fairy tales." In fact, "even those who are far from the front lines fully understand that the enemy is cunning and strong, and the entire so-called Western countries' defense industry is working for them, providing intelligence and formulating defense and counterattack strategies. Yes, the enemy is suffering losses in personnel, resources, and territory, but this is clearly far from something our soldiers can easily win; their bravery is admirable." "In short, the argument that 'just wait and they will retreat' has not been proven over the past four years. Practice has shown that Ukraine always finds soldiers, funds, and weapons. Not only are Russian experts sober-minded, but the Russian army on the battlefield also does not have the impulse to 'eliminate them in one day,' but rather engages in a war of attrition with extreme patience.
