Neither the dictator, nor the Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu or other military commanders had been aware of these problems before the full-scale war began.

So, Putin believed that they were actually the “second (best) army in the world.” He was wrong. And this very mistake should be used by the Ukrainian military in an expected counteroffensive,” Vertsner said.

The commanders’ swaps won’t help, the Israeli expert believes.

“[The problems] haven’t disappeared, for sure. He (Putin) is putting in efforts, like a good joke. I apologize for the joke. They got tired of changing the beds in the brothel so they changed the women. This is what he is trying to do now. But I think it’s already too late.”
