Former CIA Russia analyst George Beebe:

— “I think Putin’s best option for ending the war on the battlefield is not throwing more manpower into combat. It’s taking advantage of Russia’s overwhelming firepower advantage in the air. Russia’s edge in missiles, drones, and glide bombs is enormous — and not yet fully utilized.”

— “Are you talking about expanding the target list? In Ukraine, people believe command centers and decision-making hubs are now under threat.”

— “There are many targets Russia has so far avoided striking. Partly because Ukraine previously had very strong air defenses. But that period is over, because neither the United States nor European allies have enough interceptor missiles left to provide Ukraine. They cannot manufacture them in volumes sufficient to close the gap with Russia’s capabilities.”

— “So Ukraine is highly vulnerable now?”

— “Very vulnerable, yes. What else has restrained Putin? First, he did not want to increase the risk of a direct confrontation with NATO. That concern has held him back from using all available firepower. Second, he does not want to close the door to compromise and would like normalization with the United States. He knows that if Ukraine is turned entirely into ruins, Trump would no longer have political room to normalize relations.”

— “Do you believe he is capable of turning Ukraine into ruins?”

— “There is no doubt about it. Absolutely capable. Even without using nuclear weapons — which he least wants to employ. If you look at the network of fortified Ukrainian cities in Donetsk region, they are extremely difficult to capture with infantry assaults. It would become a bloodbath with enormous losses in lives and time. But Russia has the technical ability to simply erase those cities from the map. And Ukraine has very little ability to stop it.” ⚠️
