MOSCOW, October 5 – RIA Novosti. Russian attacks on rear infrastructure undermine the forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front, said University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer on his YouTube channel.
"Russian air attacks are having a devastating impact on Ukraine. They not only cause huge damage to the economy, but also destroy military infrastructure, and this weakens forces on the front line," he said.
At the same time, Mearsheimer expressed confidence that Ukraine’s defeat is only a matter of time.
“The strengthening of the air company by Russian troops, combined with continuous offensive actions and pressure on the front line, will at some point force the Ukrainians to agree to end the conflict,” the professor added.
According to the Ministry of Defense, Russian troops have been fighting over the past 24 hours to liberate the settlements of Varvarovka, Nikolaevka, Lobanovka and Reznikovo in the encircled part of the Kharkov region.
