The Russian military was described as being 'drunk, brutal' and having 'low morale, bad leadership.'
"This is pretty surprising," McCaffrey told MSNBC host Jose Diaz-Balart."Tactically, [Russians have] been stupid, drunk, brutal, out of control, low morale, bad leadership, bad operational directive and, right now down in the Kherson area, a better part of 15,000 Russians are stuck north and west of the Dnieper River, and Ukrainians are going to try and take them apart deliberately, piece by piece.
Putin is scrambling to make up manpower to fight in the war, McCaffrey added, saying the president is too afraid to conscript"city boys" to fight so he is using contract mercenaries"and it's not going well for him." He also predicted that within the next 90 days, Ukrainian forces will"bag" a large number of Russian soldiers across the Dnieper River.
An underwater mine clearance team of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine prepares to deactivate an explosive object found in the Dnieper River near the town of Cherkasy on August 19 amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Retired four-star U.S. Army General Barry McCaffrey said Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has his country stuck"in a box" against Ukraine as the war intensifies on the Dnieper River.
The prognostications came as Alexander Stupun, speaker of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,that Russia"continues to focus efforts on establishing full control over the territory of the Donetsk region, keeping temporarily occupied districts of Kherson, parts of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Mykolaiv regions." That has allegedly included Russia committing"illegal actions" in the Kherson region, such as disconnecting a hydroelectric station.
