Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine on February 24, made four strategic mistakes.
The Kremlin dictator Putin , who cynically and barbarously attacked Ukraine on February 24, significantly overestimated his army, from which the Russian Federation has been making a cult “second in the world” for years. At the same time, Putin grossly underestimated Kyiv, as well as the strength of the West that backed him.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian spoke about this in a commentary to BFM TV .
According to the French minister, the war will be long and hard, because its instigator “is in denial.”
“I think we are heading for a long war. Putin did not think about this, which perhaps explains the special nature of this parade, where there is no break. He (Putin. – Ed.) In a completely revisionist justification for the causes of the war. how to shift responsibility to others,” the diplomat said.
According to him, Putin made four strategic mistakes:
- The first mistake was to think that Ukraine would fall: “It does not fall, but on the contrary, created a heroically struggling nation.”
- The second mistake was that the head of the Kremlin believed that “Europe would be fragile in its reaction when everything was the other way around.”
- The third mistake, that the Russian president “thought he saw weaknesses in NATO”, the Russian dictator believed that there was no unity of opinion within the Alliance, but NATO showed that this was not the case.
- Fourth, that Putin “overestimated the strength of his army.”
Recall that historian Yaroslav Hrytsak said that after the defeat in the war against Ukraine, Russia will be very weakened, will slide down to the level of 1991. The aggressor country will ask the West to lift economic sanctions in response to political decisions.
