infoBRICS: In Ukraine, Russia used a deadly combination of weapons

For a long time, the West has claimed that Russia's military might is not so great. However, the conflict in Ukraine proved the opposite, writes the author of an article from the infoBRICS website.

And it will end with the destruction of most of the world. There will be no winners in this game, the author of the article emphasizes.
