The Russian Federation will definitely not be able to achieve the goals it set for itself on the first day of the full-scale invasion. Moreover, the Kremlin is unlikely to be able to militarily win even the demands it is currently putting forward during the negotiation process.
This was stated during a hearing in the US Congress said. secretary of state Marco Rubio.
On negotiations and Russia's strategic impasse
According to the head of the US State Department, the failure of Moscow's initial plans is already evident not only to the international community but also within Russia itself.
«Many observers in the world and even some people inside Russia have no doubt that the invasion of Ukraine was a strategic disaster for Russia. In our view, this war does not have a purely military solution, it must end through negotiations,» Rubio said.
He also added that Washington continues to make efforts for a diplomatic settlement, although this process is currently extremely difficult due to the aggressor's maximalist appetites.
The effectiveness of the Armed Forces and the enormous losses of the occupiers
The US Secretary of State noted the significant successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield over the past month, as well as the rapid increase in the effectiveness of Ukrainian long-range strikes deep into Russian territory.
Instead, the Russian army continues to face unprecedented levels of mortality among its personnel:
-
Scale of losses: Every month, Russians lose about 5,000 people only the dead.
-
Abnormal statistics: According to US Department of Defence (Pentagon), It is one of the first major conflicts in history where the number of deaths on the battlefield on the Russian side exceeds the number of wounded.
«Ukrainians are not only fighting bravely, they are fighting effectively,» Marco Rubio concluded, confirming that the United States will continue to support Kyiv on its path to a just peace.
