On Thursday, the Kremlin denied the statements of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny about the deadlock in the conflict in Ukraine and stated that Russia will continue its military campaign in Ukraine until it achieves all its goals, EFE reports.
Zaluzhny is wrong when he says that the conflict in Ukraine is headed for a new stage of static fighting, as Russia will achieve all its goals, Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov said on Thursday, as quoted by Reuters, in response to the Ukrainian’s comments. general in an article published in The Economist magazine, Agerpres notes.
Asked whether Zaluzhny was right to say that the conflict had reached an impasse, Kremlin press secretary Dmytro Peskov replied: “No, there is no deadlock.”
“No, (the conflict) has not reached an impasse. Russia continues to conduct a special military operation. All the set goals must be achieved,” insisted Peskov, in whose opinion it is absurd for Kyiv to talk about victory over Russia on the battlefield.
“The Kyiv regime needs a long time to understand that even talking about any prospect of victory on the battlefield is absurd. The sooner the Kyiv regime understands this, the sooner some prospects will open,” he said.
As Zaluzhny noted in an article for The Economist, the war has entered a new positional phase in which no significant maneuvering can be expected on either side, but this new stage of static fighting and attrition may allow Moscow to regain its military power.
The Ukrainian general believes that the situation at the front has reached an impasse, when neither side can advance, because both are equally equipped from a technical point of view, which reminds him of the events of the First World War, the publication “Ukrainian Pravda” notes.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces said that a “huge technological leap” is needed to get out of the deadlock.
The Ukrainian general admitted his “mistake” in believing that the heavy losses inflicted on the enemy, which he estimated at least 150,000 dead, could stop the war.
These statements were made after five months of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, during which Kyiv advanced only 17 kilometers, reports The Economist.
