Ex-NATO chief: Russian forces in Ukraine will be 'burned through and exhausted' by end of winter

Former NATO chief James Stavridis said in an interview that he believes Russian forces in Ukraine will be “burned through and exhausted” by the end of the winter season as the Kremlin’s war against the neighboring country continues.

During an appearance on New York-based radio station WABC 770 morning show “Cats Roundtable,” Stavridis told host John Catsimatidis that he doesn’t see either side having a breakthrough moment during the winter.

“But I don’t see either side having a breakthrough moment — at least this winter,” Stavridis told Catsimatidis. “Unfortunately, the first chance we can get to a negotiation is going to be after the winter. The Russians will be burned through and exhausted, losing so many men, so much equipment.”

Stavridis also said he believes both sides will push for negotiations in the latter part of this year.

That was a major problem for the Germans in Russia, especially at Stalingrad.

for winter better than anyone with their experience from WWII. Corruption and having a bunch of drunks from noncommissioned officers on up is probably most of the problem.
