Russia has no way to restore its military potential – Ukrainian MP Nalyvaichenko

He said this on Espreso TV. 

“The real state of affairs of the Russian Armed Forces is as follows: firstly, there are very few combat-ready units left in the Russian army; secondly, they are critically short of artillery and armored vehicles and have nothing to replenish or replace them; thirdly, shells and ammunition are also in short supply and are running out in Russia. By the way, that is why the Kremlin is so desperately looking for opportunities to buy at least some artillery shells from Iran or China,” the Ukrainian MP explained. 

Valentyn Nalyvaichenko emphasized that the Ukrainian Armed Forces broke the Russian regular army's back and destroyed a huge amount of Russian arsenal with their successful combat actions.

“They no longer have such potential, weapons and ammunition that the Russian army had before the invasion in February last year. Russia has no way to restore, replace or replenish its lost military might,” Nalyvaichenko emphasized.
