Recent high-profile statements by the former advisor to the President of the Russian Federation Andriy Illarionov (in

an interview

for the YouTube channel "Andriy Shelest") that the large-scale stage of the war is still ahead, about Russia's use of the latest weapons and the involvement of about 600,000-700,000 personnel Ukrainian military experts commented.

In their subjective opinion, not everything is as clear as Ilarionov suggests.

Experts told about this in a comment

for 

TSN.ua.

"There are no "good Russians". I don't believe that there can be Russians with a democratic way of thinking, - says military expert

Petro Chernyk

. - The fact that he (Illarionov - Ed.) is being formed with an anti-Putin image can be a long-term strategic and filigree high-quality informational and psychological operation. A classic way of proof from the opposite. Or the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is far from the case."

Chernyk argues his position, giving examples with numbers: "Russia is at the highest point of its military power. Have all possible classes of aviation with strategic missile carriers been used? They have been used completely.

There is not a single cluster of aviation equipment that has not been used against Ukraine

.

11 classes of strategic non-nuclear missiles, starting from the longest-range Kh-101 and ending with Point-U, were used.

Let's move on.

At the beginning of this war, the Russian army had 3,400 tanks on the march.

More than 3,100 were destroyed in Ukraine in 10 months, while 147 vehicles were destroyed in Afghanistan in 10 years.

At the beginning of this war, the Russians had around 5,500 working artillery barrels.

2 thousand have already been destroyed by Ukrainians.

Of the more than 20 million shells they had at the beginning of this war, more than half were used.

They need up to 60,000 shells per day, and they can produce a maximum of 125,000 per month.

Not more.

They removed from conservation the T-62, removed from conservation the D-1 gun mount of 1943 development.

There are confirmed cases that their servicemen are armed with a 1981 Mosin rifle.

A logical question arises about what class of weapons,

which one they have, they didn't use against us?

And what, apart from a huge human wave, old Soviet junk and nuclear weapons, can they still use?

For me, everything is clear - Illarionov is a strategically playing agent of Moscow, who is given the right image of an anti-Putin fighter.

I could be wrong because I don't have any proof.

I emphasize that this is exclusively an analytical conclusion, an expert's subjective point of view.

I do not believe in the insults of anti-Putin democrats.

In my opinion, this is a high-quality, high-quality IPSO to sow panic and fear among us, Ukrainians.

If they had such weapons and power, they would have achieved such a goal in three days.

They still have a huge human mass and we will have to grind it."

 In turn, another expert, the former spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

, Vladyslav Seleznyov

, commented on Illarionov's statements to us: "Does Mr. Illarionov have access to such a level and volume of information as, for example, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhnyi? I think not. Every expert has the right to speak about certain events, based on one's own experience, on one's own insider information."
