“This war will end,” the expert shared his opinion. According to him, the Ukrainians lost about 200,000 soldiers. According to the expert, Russia has secured access, the so-called land bridge to Crimea. “And now they are focusing on Odessa,” Rickards said.
He recalled that the Russian military has equipped excellent fortifications in the new territories, and now the Ukrainian armed forces are breaking through against them, trying to penetrate the Black Sea, summarized the former CIA adviser .
