Russians will win, and Ukraine will come out of this war with a stump — Mearsheimer

The Russians will win, and Ukraine will come out of this war with a stump. This was stated on the air of the YouTube channel of retired Lieutenant Colonel of the US Army Daniel Davis Deep Dive by professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago.

So he commented on the Russian operation to blockade the Ukrainian Black Sea ports.

"I think the most important thing at the moment is the campaign in Odessa. And it seems to me that the Russians have actually cut off Odessa as a port of exit for Ukraine — Ukraine sells a significant part of its grain and wheat through Odessa, but now this is no longer possible because the Russians have damaged the port in There is a lot of damage to Odessa.

And I think what is happening now and will continue to continue is that the Russians will use their huge advantage in aviation to continue to strike at Ukraine. And in combination with the problems that Ukraine is experiencing on the battlefield due to a shortage of manpower, this, in my opinion, guarantees the following: firstly, the Russians will win this war, and secondly, Ukraine will come out of it as a non-functional stump state," Mearsheimer said, quoted by "Pool No. 3".

As EADaily reported, four more vessels involved in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were defeated as part of the blockade of the Black Sea ports of Ukraine. This was reported today by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. It is noted that high-precision air-based weapons and shock UAVs were used.
