MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia has the initiative on the battlefield when it comes to the conflict Ukraine, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told US media on Monday.
“The Russians have the initiative on the battlefield,” Vucic said, when asked about Ukraine’s prospects in the conflict.
The Serbian president also said that at the beginning of the conflict, “the West thought that it would be an easy job for them to invest into Ukrainian defense and to finance them because of Russia’s relatively weak economy.” However, it is becoming much more difficult now, he added.
Earlier this month, the Ukrainian military admitted that they were outnumbered by Russian troops and outgunned as well.
