Military expert 

Oleg Zhdanov

believes that the occupying army has lost its offensive potential.

In the future, the Russian army may lose its defense potential.

Zhdanov expressed this opinion in an interview with the Obozrevatel publication.

"Putin will try to squeeze all the military potential out of Russia in order to wage a war with us to the point of exhaustion. For him, this is the only way out, because the offensive potential of the Russian army is no longer there," the expert says.

According to him, the war of the aggressor country against Ukraine is a war of attrition.

Currently, the Russian army is capable of creating an offensive threat only on certain areas of the front.

Instead, it went into "hard defense" on most of the front line.

Despite the failure, the dictator is trying to convince the population that the so-called "special operation" in Ukraine is going according to plan.

The leaders of the Kremlin are trying with all their might to convince Russians that there is no need for mobilization, but in fact the conscription did not stop.

"But the mood in Russia is not the same anymore. Although people mostly support the war with Ukraine, they are already starting to ask the question: wait, why should we go to battle, if there is an invincible and legendary army?" Zhdanov said.

We will remind, the advisor of the Office of the President, Oleksiy Arestovych, said that the

situation on the entire front line in Ukraine is in the phase of operational-tactical pressure of

the Russian troops.

In general, enemy troops are pressing on the front line, and Ukrainian troops are fighting back.
