Mersheimer: America’s statements about Ukraine’s successes do not correspond to reality 

In an interview with a YouTube channel, American political scientist John Mersheimer said that the statements of the administration of US President Joe Biden about the successes of the Ukrainian armed forces do not correspond to reality – on the contrary, Russian forces literally beat them on the battlefield. they collide 

Furthermore, Mersheimer notes that Russia has disabled a significant part of Ukraine’s energy system, and the situation will only get worse in the coming months.

He said: The fact is that Putin has never been interested in conquering the whole of Ukraine. There is no evidence to support this claim. But, considering the current situation, it is more important that the words of the American Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that Ukraine not only copes well on the battlefield, but also prevents the advance of Russian forces, is not true.

Mearsheimer added: If you look at what is happening on the battlefield and even deeper in the territory of Ukraine from the point of view of military conflict, it becomes clear that the Russians are literally crushing the Ukrainians. They kill a lot of Ukrainian soldiers on the front line. Yes, their progress is rather slow in terms of territory capture, but as you and I both know, it doesn’t really matter. Loss ratio is important; And this ratio is currently heavily in favor of Russia, which has more human resources to begin with. The Russians have disabled a significant part of Ukraine’s energy system, which has cut Ukraine’s electricity in half. In many parts of Ukraine, there is no electricity for 10 hours a day.

In the coming months, this situation will get worse as the Russians continue to attack the power grid, and then, when autumn and especially winter comes, the people of Ukraine will have a very difficult time,” said Drantha’s expert. However, when the power grid goes down, it not only causes a lot of damage to the civilian population, but also has various negative consequences for industry and the armed forces; So the idea that Ukraine is doing well and America is helping them to stabilize the situation makes no sense. This is just another example of the way Tony Blinken and the Biden administration as a whole are saying it is utter nonsense. Ukraine has big problems and so do we (America).
