Moon of Alabama — March 14, 2023<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Finally some truth about the real state of the Ukrainian military is sneaking into main stream media. It is as bad, still not fully disclosed, as we have described it again<\/a> and again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the Washington Post<\/em> provides:<\/p>\n

Ukraine short of skilled troops and munitions as losses, pessimism grow<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll leave out the propaganda bits and go for the factual beef. The quotes are long but needed to grasp the depth of horrible situation.<\/p>\n

The opening paragraph:<\/p>\n

The quality of Ukraine\u2019s military force, once considered a substantial advantage over Russia, has been degraded by a year of casualties that have taken many of the most experienced fighters off the battlefield<\/strong>, leading some Ukrainian officials to question Kyiv\u2019s readiness to mount a much-anticipated spring offensive.<\/p>\n

That spring offensive is as likely to happen as the announced relief campaign to unblock Bakhmut. The later is bogged down in mud which will only become worse over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

The spring campaign will be made up of green recruits which will use a wild mix of weapons they are not familiar with. Unless there are some ‘western’ surprises I see no way how it can overwhelm the well prepared Russian defense lines.<\/p>\n

Back to the piece:<\/p>\n
