A well-known Russian military expert Alexander Golts believes that the supply of lethal weapons from the US will not change the situation in the Donbass, unless Ukraine decides to take radical action.
He said this on the air of "Radio Liberty".
At the same time, Goltz noted that today it is difficult to predict how much resources there are in Russia to maintain the war in the Donbass.
"Nobody knows this.
Compared to the overall Russian budget, this is not very significant. But every time we talk about a military operation (Ukraine, Syria, something else), each time we say that this is basically a small amount. But in the aggregate, this is becoming more and more significant, "he said..
According to him, it is not known for what amount contracts are concluded with "volunteers", at what prices the supply of arms and food.
"Therefore, we can not seriously talk about the cost of the operation," he concluded..
