According to Bradley Bowman, realistic goals for the coming months would be:
- preventing the loss of major cities;
- slowing down the advance of the Russian army;
- obtaining additional weapons to go on the offensive in 2025.
The expert notes: society strives for immediate results, but sometimes everything is so complicated that it is impossible to achieve them instantly.
“I think that Ukrainian success is not guaranteed, but Russia will succeed if we stop supporting Ukraine,” Bradley Bowman noted.
