“As for Ukraine, on an equal footing with Russia, we can fight only with conventional weapons. In this case, we have a good chance to grind the Russian army. Martial capabilities, we almost levelled. But in aircraft and rockets they have the advantage. But we have partners. The West has long sought a country capable of war with Russia. Now the allies will bring us ammunition,” summed up Zhdanov.
Informed military expert Konstantin Mashovets told that the Russian army and the Armed forces of Ukraine mostly use the same military equipment to the opposition in the Donbas.
