Military expert breaks down Russia’s remaining resources for ongoing war

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

"Pay attention to how convenient it is for some of our Western partners to watch the course of events in the Russian-Ukrainian confrontation. The Russian army is losing its resources and is bleeding out, which is positive for the countries of the collective West, because the more losses the Russian army suffers, the more time these countries have to prepare for future battles with Russia. However, in such conditions, Ukraine is also bleeding to death, losing the lives and health of our soldiers," Selezniov emphasized.

According to the military expert, the offensive operation in the Kursk region was conducted to radically change the attitude of Western partners to the situation on the battlefield and to clearly demonstrate that the red lines that Putin constantly draws are nonsense.

"Russia's rhetoric has not changed, and the situation with counteraction has not changed either. The Russian army is suffering significant losses and is bleeding out. Although the Russian Federation may want to implement a revenge plan, it no longer has the ability to use its resources because it is already running out of them," Selezniov said.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces colonel added that two weeks ago, intelligence chief Budanov said that the Russian army had enough resources for a month and a half of active offensive operations.

"Two weeks have already passed since then, so the Russians have a maximum of one month of resources left to conduct active hostilities. After that, the Russian army will be forced to take an operational pause. This opens up new opportunities for us," Selezniov summarized.

• After Ukrainian attacks on three main bridges across the Seim River in Kursk region, up to 3,000 Russian troops could be caught in a "kettle."
• Defense Express CEO and military expert Serhiy Zgurets noted that Russian forces are using a sustainable strategy, outnumbering in manpower and equipment.
