Russia does not have enough troops to capture Mariupol - Arestovich

Over Mariupol no longer hangs the threat of capture. The reason is the lack of sufficient troops to carry out this military task.. This was stated by Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President Alexei Arestovich, after analyzing the conversation between Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“First, they cannot take Azovstal… Second, they understand that even if they set the task of taking Azovstal, they will put the most important and valuable resource there — assault infantry,” Arestovich said..

“They, fools, announced the capture of Mariupol, and the fighting in Mariupol will continue, and more effective for the Ukrainian side, because there are fewer Russian troops. This means that the direct threat of the fall of Mariupol has receded, because there are not enough troops to storm it, ”he is sure.
