The Russian military has failed to integrate hard-learned lessons from the invasions of Afghanistan and Chechnya into its force planning, recent analyses have shown.
“As Ukraine’s counteroffensive enters its second week, a top Zelensky advisor urges Ukrainians in Russian-occupied territories to ready bomb shelters and supplies ahead of looming battles,” Christopher Miller, world and national security reporter at Politico recently Tweeted.
The original Tweet referenced by Miller was even more bullish, urging Ukrainians in Crimea to prepare as ‘everything will be Ukrainian.’
Amid Ukraine’s counteroffensive, recent analysis has shone a light on the similarities between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with their invasions of Afghanistan in 1979 and their First and Second Chechen Wars in the 1990s.
