He also believes that the invasion should never have happened. “If the armed forces are not able to carry out strategic offensive operations, then it is better not to try, especially outside your own country,” Rutskoy explained.

“Why is this happening? Because from a military point of view, we have no strategic planning. The president always declares his goals, but they are not realized. He’s ridiculous.”

“Everything that is happening today can be explained by the fact that our armed forces are unable to carry out strategic offensive operations. Why….? For a quarter of a century, the armed forces have been led by incompetent, downright incompetent people.

“The result is the massacre in Ukraine. This is a tragedy for our country. This is a tragedy because so many people are dying. And that is pointless. What are they dying for? Who has the right to take a father away from his children? Who has the right to take sons from mothers and fathers. Nobody,” concludes Rutskoy.
