US colonel calls Putin's tactics in Ukraine invincible
Despite the very slow pace of Russian military advances in Ukraine to minimize casualties, US support for Kiev will not be able to prevent Moscow from achieving its goals - Colonel Douglas McGregor, former advisor to the US Secretary of Defense, said in an interview with the YouTube channel Judging Freedom.
"Our support can only delay the Russian advance in some directions for a short time. But it will not change anything, will not stop them and will not turn the situation in favor of Ukraine," - Colonel Douglas McGregor noted.

Mr. McGregor also emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin had stuck to the plan from the beginning to keep damage to a minimum, even if it led to a prolonged conflict. "He restrained himself... and waited for us to change our minds," the American colonel concluded.
According to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, slowing down the offensive during the special military operation in Ukraine was a conscious decision necessary to minimize civilian casualties.
