Military expert Daniel De Petris analyzed for the American edition of The National Interest the possibilities of Ukraine in a direct military clash with Russia.

“Russia has spent the last three months building up a strong military force in the area of ​​the Russian-Ukrainian border. Some 130,000 Russian troops are stationed on three sides of Ukraine's land border, from the Russian mainland in the east to Belarus in the north. The Russian military sent tanks, artillery, infantry fighting vehicles, rocket launchers and air defense systems to the area, some of them from Russian bases in the Far East,” writes De Petris.

He also made a comparison with the military power of Ukraine - noting that compared to 2014, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are much better equipped and trained, the Russian Armed Forces are superior to the Ukrainian ones in all numerical and qualitative indicators. First of all, De Petris notes, Ukrainian aviation will not be able to oppose the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Earlier in the United States, they reacted to the words of President Joe Biden about the "threat" from Russia.
