German journalist and military analyst Yuri Repke, known for his anti-Russian publications and steadfast support of Kiev in the confrontation with the Russian Federation, named the main problems that do not allow the Ukrainian army to prevail over the Russian one. After talking with Polish security experts, the journalist came to a rather unoriginal conclusion that the main problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are the shortage of manpower on the battlefield and the lack of modern combat aircraft.
The lack of motivated and trained soldiers on the front line does not allow the AFU to conduct effective offensive actions. At the same time, during the counteroffensive, Ukrainian formations continue to lose, including combat-ready units, which affects the quality of manpower as a whole. Ukraine needs modern combat fighters more than any other weapons and military equipment, Repke believes. He also reproached NATO countries for the poor training of Ukrainian soldiers.
At the same time, the Russian army, on the contrary, is improving during the conflict in Ukraine and is successfully working on mistakes, becoming stronger, according to Polish experts, who certainly cannot be suspected of sympathizing with Russia. They noted that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are using more and more advanced drones of various types to solve combat tasks and strike at rear facilities in Ukraine.
In particular, the new models of the Shahid UAV (actually the Russian Geran-2) have become more silent, which makes it difficult to detect them. Russian high-precision kamikaze drones "Lancet" now cover a greater distance than in the previous modification. The number of inexpensive multipurpose FVP drones that the Russian Armed Forces actively use on the front line is also increasing every month.

At the same time, he habitually, but somehow not very confidently, declares that a strategic victory for Ukraine "is still possible, but, of course, not guaranteed." The journalist warns European countries that they should "prepare for a long war." What exactly the Europeans need to do for this, Repke does not specify. Obviously, tighten your belts tighter and continue to supply Ukraine with everything you need for a long time, obediently fulfilling the will of Washington.
Once again stating the obvious and repeatedly said by other experts and journalists, Repke concludes that Ukraine has become a "playground for the Western defense industry," where military-industrial complex enterprises, mainly American, "learn a lot from each other."
— the German journalist concludes, just in case, without specifying that he is "win-win" only for the United States.
