Former military-political adviser to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former Brigadier General Erich Wad warns against underestimating Russian troops in Ukraine.

About this, as writes "

Vad admitted that at first he overestimated the Russian military and suggested that the Russian army would enter Kyiv.

" Today, however, there are risks of underestimating the Russians,"

According to him, the location of forces and their nature is now determined by the Russians..

"

In his opinion, it is now important for Ukrainians not to rely on a decisive counterattack with conventional, especially heavily armored forces..

" The Russians are too strong for that, they have military dominance on the ground and in the air. Ukrainians have a chance to drag out the conflict, inflate the price for Russians and tire them out. In the end, it can lead to victory,"

European Pravda also recalls that earlier Erich Wad spoke out against the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine..
