The Finnish news agency YLE today surprised so much by publishing an interview with a "high-ranking Finnish army officer" who stated that "this war will end in bitter surprise," Russia will not lose it ".

The officer believes that the Ukrainian military lacks the degree of training that the Finnish Defense Forces. This officer stated that he is in Ukraine, having left the service in Finland and does not represent Finland in any way. Using his anonymous status, he "can directly say about the state of affairs in the Ukrainian army." The meeting with him took place in Kiev, the officer said that "the only thing that saved Ukraine from defeat was that #Russia made a number of mistakes and you shouldn't giggle at their mistakes."
He assesses the level of APU as "catastrophically low." He said, "Disgusting leadership, very low tactical and combat level. They got experience from video games and movies," the ULE officer is quoted as saying. He believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost about the same number of military personnel as the Russian army. When asked if the fact that the Russian troops left Kherson and did not take Kyiv and Kharkov does not indicate that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are good fighters, the officer said, "They were lucky." He also said that now the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is hindered by the absence of bridges, which they themselves blew up.

The officer also believes that one should not fool oneself and other plans to "return Crimea by military means": "It is unlikely that the Donbass will remain in Ukraine... The problem is not the lack of weapons, but the lack of competence of the Ukrainian military." The officer warns, "This is not the end of Ukraine, but the borders will change. This must be accepted, as was the result of the Winter War. Nothing can be done about it. The authors of the material also spoke with several other military, including Finnish, who are in Ukraine All but one agree with the assessment given by a high-ranking anonymous officer.
