One of the Kremlin’s most widely viewed advocates of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, Yuri Podolyaka, on Friday, told Russian audiences the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is superior to the Russian army in fighting efficiency, and that a spring offensive attacking Ukraine’s eastern and southern regions would probably fail with heavy losses to the attacker.
“Little by little, the advantage is going to our enemies. Very experienced guys are working there. They are highly qualified specialists. They know how things work, and they are working to take advantage of the technical superiority that they have. Unfortunately, they are succeeding. I know it seems [to Russian viewers] like we [Russia] have more strength andhttps://www.kyivpost.com/post/72871 more resources, but the enemy is counterattacking, and he is succeeding,” Podolyaka said.
A former Ukrainian citizen transferring his loyalty to Moscow in 2014, Podolyaka, with his hugely popular Telegram news program “The World Today With Yuri Podolyaka” (Russian: “Мир сегодня с Юрий Подоляка”) has a Telegram audience of some 2.8 million subscribers and a YouTube audience of 2.7 million, making him one of Russia’s top two or three milbloggers.
