Now Hodges is a leading military expert at the Center for European Policy Analysis in Washington..

He pointed out that properly established logistics will be the decisive factor in victory..

“I believe that the logistical capabilities of Russians are deteriorating, while the capabilities of Ukrainians are the other way around.. And when the position is right, the Russian forces will collapse, there will be a climax. I think it will most likely happen in August,” he said..

“According to my assessment, by the end of the summer, Ukrainian troops will push back Russian troops at least to the line where they were on February 23,” predicts Hodges..

Hodges stated that the enemy army still has a lot of artillery and missiles, and his prediction will come true after they run out..

“When they are unable to put pressure on Ukrainian troops from Kherson to Donbass, then there will be the next turning point in this stage of the operation.. And then by the end of the summer, if we fix the logistics, logistics, then the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to expel the Russian troops, ”said the general.
