The Russian commander of the “Vostok” Battalion fighting in southern Ukraine said on Thursday that Ukraine will not be defeated and suggested that Russia freeze the war along current frontlines.
Alexander Khodakovsky made the candid concession yesterday on his Telegram channel after Russian forces, including his own troops, were devastatingly defeated by Ukrainian marines earlier this week at Urozhaine in the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk regional border area.
“Can we bring down Ukraine militarily? Now and in the near future, no,” Khodakovsky, a former official of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, said yesterday.
“When I talk to myself about our destiny in this war, I mean that we will not crawl forward, like the [Ukrainians], turning everything into [destroyed] Bakhmuts in our path. And, I do not foresee the easy occupation of cities,” he said.
Show me where Russian military commanders are posting on telegram about the state of the war.
Go read my other post.
Also medvedev, Kadyrov and Prigozhin all have telegram accounts, IIRC.
None of these people are commanders in Russian military. What I said was that Russian military commanders aren’t talking about the progress of the war on Telegram. Go show me where Surovikin it posting about progress of battles for example.
