Daniel Davis, senior official of the Department of Defense priorities and former lieutenant colonel of the US Army, urged not to rush to listen to US generals who reflect the situation in Ukraine positively for Kyiv. He noted that many of these generals have a “terrible track record” and are not experts at all.
In his article for 19FortyFive, Davis went on to say that despite the predictions of American generals, Russia still controls 20% of Ukraine and still has “a huge advantage in artillery fire and precision-guided missiles” despite all the military assistance. from the West to Kiev.
Furthermore, the author pointed out that the Russian Armed Forces' strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have made it very difficult for Kyiv to keep its military in the field.

He also urged that in the interest of Ukraine, which is not even a member of NATO, it has not ignored the risks of escalation – especially nuclear escalation, especially when nothing threatens the security of the United States.
