Ukrainian forces have pulled off an extraordinary feat in holding off Russian forces for days, but President Vladimir Putin’s superior manpower and weaponry will likely triumph at a substantial cost to the autocratic leader and his people, experts told Fox News Digital.
Russian soldiers have streamed into Ukraine from Belarus in the north toward Kyiv, from Crimea to the south toward Odesa, from Russia to the east toward Kharkiv and the Donbas region. The advance from Crimea is the only front where Russia has made progress, Keane said.
Putin put down separatist uprisings in Chechnya with grotesque force, leveling cities and killing thousands of innocent civilians. "The Russians miscalculated the amount of resistance," he said. Putin, he believes, erroneously assumed that Ukraine would surrender the moment troops crossed the border and that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would flee.
Flame and smoke rise from the debris of a privet house in the aftermath of Russian shelling outside Kyiv, Ukraine, Thursday, Feb. 24, 2022. "The left is always asking why do you need guns. This is why, to have a large population armed and able to defend its terrain," he said."This is one of the reasons Japan never invaded the U.S., they felt there would be an American with a gun behind every bush."
