The Russian president could be ousted from the Kremlin if the UAF attack is successful, says Richard Dannatt
With the successful counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the “collapse” of the Russian army, Russian President Vladimir Putin may be ousted from the Kremlin. The former chief of the British General Staff, General Richard Dannatt, said this, Sky News reports.
He believes that the Ukrainian military can conduct a successful counter-offensive in the late spring – early summer with proper planning and constant supplies of equipment and ammunition from the allies.
The general noted that in this case, this year there is a real chance to achieve a decisive result on the battlefield. According to him, several decisive blows delivered at several points along this stretched front against the occupying army could demoralize the Russian military and break the backbone of their army.
“The thing is, you don’t have to crush the army completely across the battlefield. You just have to convince enough soldiers that they’ve lost, and when they think they’ve lost, they’ve lost,” he said. .
At the same time, he believes that the West has not done enough to ensure that Russia’s war against Ukraine ends this year.
In addition, Dannatt said that Russian generals unhappy with the progress of the war could drive Vladimir Putin from the Kremlin.
“I would like to think that if the Ukrainian counter-offensive is sufficiently planned, supported and executed, that Putin will not be able to make so many decisions on his own, that if his army falls and runs, I think it will he will likely be expelled from the Kremlin as well,” he said.
At the same time, the general cannot predict who will come instead of Putin. However, he noted that, in his opinion, a group of people, a group of leaders, the most dissatisfied in the Russian Federation at the moment, is the highest general.
Earlier, the GUR announced one of the strategic objectives of the counter-offensive. Vadim Skibitsky said that one of the goals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to “drive a wedge on Russia’s front to the south.”
