"There are questions to commanders": The Russian Federation is in some directions - Kostenko (video)
This was stated by the secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence Roman Kostenko in an interview with NV. Despite the fact that the Armed Forces tried to take active actions in the Zaporozhye and Kherson directions, now what is happening is more reminiscent of strategic defense. It is explained by the fact that the enemy failed to stop in all directions.
Some of the active offensive actions of the enemy, which succeeds: Avdiivka and Kupyan direction, are a problem. "The defense built by the Russian Federation in the same Zaporizhzhya direction, we can not break, because everything is done seriously, with the right approaches," explained the People's Deputy. "And in some directions, they depart and we leave. " According to him, this means that there is a question to build the defense of the Armed Forces and to the commanders who build it.
It is explained by the fact that defense is a complex system, not just trenches. Defense requirements - skillfully reflect the offensive actions of the enemy, cause losses, keep positions and create favorable conditions for your own offensive. "These four factors must coincide. When we are being sent, it's not defense," Kostenko explained.
The Armed Forces should consolidate their defense to the level when the enemy stops to be released, and then think about active actions, because it is impossible to step when the enemy goes from other sides and takes away the territory. Recall that the EU was not ready for the rate of production of weapons in the Russian Federation. According to journalists, the defense complex of Europe requires not so much an approach -oriented approach as the state control.
