Vladimir Putin leaves no hope of even the slightest success in the war in Ukraine. His main weapon is soldiers, because they will not run out as quickly as ammunition and missiles. . A second offensive is Putin's only chance to stay in power, he is convinced.
Bloomberg reported that Russia is preparing for an offensive in late February – early March.
The military observer is convinced that for Putin this is just an attempt to prolong his existence. The head of the Kremlin is now in a stalemate, and attempts to attack and advance further are the only thing that can keep him in power.
It is clear to the whole world that Russia will lose this war, but Putin, like Adolf Hitler in World War II, he tries to attack no matter what, Bochkala noted.
According to him, it will be increasingly difficult for the dictator to explain to the Russians why this war is needed. After all, they are waiting for the deterioration of living standards, the death of soldiers, the introduction of more and more sanctions.
Russia may be preparing an offensive
Bochkala noted that Russia planned to end the war in 3 days, but the war has been going on for 11 months. Therefore, no matter what offensive Russia prepares, it will surely end in another fiasco.
The military observer noted that the date of February – March converges with the time when Putin announced the so-called limited mobilization. This is exactly the term for which Russian “mobiles” will already be prepared.
The Russians will continue their invasion tactics, like the Mongol-Tatar yoke, the expert ironically noted. Stockpiles of missiles, ammunition and armored vehicles in Russia are increasingly running low.
The only thing they can replenish their reserves with is manpower. These are the citizens of Russia whom Putin simply destroys. They will run out of missiles much faster than civilians,” Bochkala added.

The Russians are trying to advance
The “epic victory” of the Russians in Soledar was made possible by the fact that they walked over their corpses, Bochkala is convinced. Therefore, Putin's only hope is to try to move towards Vugledar and Bakhmut.
According to a military observer, the Russians no longer have the opportunity to demonstrate a quality offensive in other sectors of the front. He suggests that one can expect the next attempts to advance the Russians in the Zaporozhye direction.
But we already know in advance how this will happen and what to do with it, the speaker stressed.
