The head of the Pentagon stressed that Russia’s resources are running out, and it is feeling the lack of artillery ammunition.
Ukraine, against the background of a significant depletion of the Russian army and the supply of Western weapons, has a “very good chance” to launch a successful counter-offensive this spring. This was stated by US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at a hearing at the US Senate Armed Services Committee, writes Ukrainska Pravda.
“The Ukrainians inflicted huge losses on the Russians, and they depleted their stocks of armored vehicles in a way that no one could have imagined. And now we see how Russia will once again mothball the T tanks -54 and T-55 because of the level of losses made by the Ukrainians,” – said the head of the Pentagon.
Austin emphasized that Russia’s resources were running out, and that he was increasingly feeling the lack of artillery ammunition, so he was forced to turn to Iran and North Korea for help.
“So I think we will see an increase in fighting in the spring as the conditions for maneuver improve, and also based on what we have done and continue to do. I think there will be a very good chance of success in Ukraine, Austin added. .
Earlier, Austin said: the United States expects Ukraine to launch an offensive in the spring.
