American journalist comments on how long Ukraine can withstand a naval battle with Russia
(Baonghean.vn) - The Ukrainian Navy only has a chance to fight Russia if it meets three conditions. This is the opinion of journalist David Axe published in Forbes magazine.
The author believes that Ukraine’s amphibious fleet is “too small” to counter a much more powerful enemy, the Russian Navy. Mr. Axe believes that the Ukrainian Navy needs to be able to withstand intensive bombing raids and at the same time be able to organize counterattacks to avoid flanking blows.

However, according to the conclusion of this American journalist, with Russia's overwhelming naval and air superiority, it is very likely that the entire Ukrainian fleet "will sink to the bottom within 1 to 2 hours from the start of the campaign".
Moscow has repeatedly rejected Western and Ukrainian accusations of "aggressive actions", noting that Russia does not threaten anyone and has no intention of attacking anyone. Russia also criticized statements about "aggression" being used as a pretext for deploying additional NATO military equipment near Russian borders./.
