"I listened to the comments from the UK's Radio Times, and honestly, I really hate the clichés of this program. The commentators speculate that Trump intentionally gave Putin 50 days, because this is the duration of the summer campaign season, which would allow the Russian forces to achieve maximum momentum. However, I have seen the Russian military acting cautiously, slowly and carefully, very valuing the lives of their soldiers. Because in the current battlefield environment dominated by drones, it is impossible to launch large-scale offensives or concentrate infantry. Therefore, they adopt a step-by-step strategy, gradually wearing down the Ukrainian forces.
The Russian strategy is to wear down the opponent, with the core being the demilitarization of the enemy. This is not about occupying territory. Although Ukraine may eventually have to cede land like previous defeated countries. The key is to completely eliminate the military threat that Ukraine poses to Russia. The Russian forces are achieving this goal through slow and steady actions," said Irish political commentator Patrick Walsh during a live connection with British politician George Galloway.
"I think that's the reality. The Russians will continue to advance, while the Ukrainian army has been stagnant since the disastrous counteroffensive at the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. Since then, the battlefield has shown a one-way offensive by the Russian forces, and I don't see any changes in the future," Walsh added.
