NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, General Christopher Cavoli has said that Russia is lacking manpower and he does not see any “potential for a massive breakthrough” in Ukraine.
Speaking during a discussion on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Cavoli said, “I’m not worried that Ukraine could suddenly lose. I don’t see the potential for a massive (Russian) breakthrough.
“And this is not a political but a military vision. It’s got to do with both sides, the effective defences that the Ukrainians have been putting in, but also the difficulty that the Russian side has in generating significant offensive forces to be able to exploit a potential breakthrough.”

Russia has made several advances, but their push is “exhausting” for Russian troops, this is another reason why 12,000 North Korean soldiers were sent to the war.
General Cavoli said, “After all, there is a reason why Russia brought thousands and thousands of soldiers from North Korea,” to the Kursk Oblast region.
He added, “I think we’re going to continue to see this tension between the desire to attack and the lack of manpower on the part of the Russians. I think that will largely define the conflict and force the Russians to use more weapons of deterrence, as we’ve seen them do in recent years.”
The French President has warned that we must not “delude ourselves” Vladimir Putin’s war is far from over.
Emmanuel Macron cautioned “let us not delude ourselves” that “this conflict will not end tomorrow or the day after,” AFP reports.
On 24 February the Ukrainian war will enter it’s third anniversary and President Donald Trump has previously stated that he will end the war in “in 24 hours.”
Macron said speaking in Cesson-Sévigné in northwestern France, that it is important to continue to strengthen Ukraine’s position.
“It is essential to provide Ukraine with the means to endure and to negotiate from a position of strength in the future.”
