Ben Wallace: Russia Running Out Of Weapons, Can Be Defeated By Ukraine by dre11(m): 5:21pm On May 09, 2022
By Abdulyassar Abdulhamid


Ben Wallace, the United Kingdom Defence Secretary, has said that Ukraine will likely defeat Russian, saying Russian forces are running out of precision weapons fairly quickly.

Russia invaded Ukraine sometimes in February this year.

Speaking in London, Ben Wallace said, “We all have highly complex weapons that, funny enough, don’t take a couple of days to replace, it can take months. Once you fire them all in the way Russia has done, they have a real challenge.”

According to BBC, he said Putin would find trying to replace those weapons “incredibly hard”, adding that a lot of the components come from the West and he won’t be able to get hold of them.

“It is not inconceivable that large superpowers, as such, as he thinks he is, lose on the battlefield,” Wallace says. “It is very possible that Ukraine will break the Russian army.”

He says it is “absurd” that today’s parade in Moscow lacks any sense of culpability or “facing-up to the reality of what’s happened to Russia’s reputation, but also the Russian soldiers… and what they’ve been doing to their Ukrainian brothers and sisters”.

Commenting on the possible defeat of Russian forces, Wallace said: “Putin must fail in Ukraine is obviously our key policy mission, but you know we mustn’t avoid the fundamentals here, which is it is for Ukraine to choose how it ends this conflict – or how it makes Russia end this conflict – and in what manner.”

How can Russia ever run out of weapons? A country that sells numerous weapons to other nations Like I said in the beginning of this unnecessary conflict in Ukraine, lies and propaganda can never win you war.

After all is said and done; Ukraine and Ukrainians will be the number one losers in the conflict...

what was said in March is different. Then it was about the initial warchest of around €15 billion being used up within 10 days. Then it changed to Russia running out of logistical supplies. That like the first also happened. There may be some element of truth in this one after all.

Ukraine was always going to lose even if they kill 10 million Russians. Reason is Russia is invading and doing the destroying. If I attack you physically and in defence you were able to give me a bloody nose, I believe that will be a commendable effort given the giant size of Russia.

Make no mistake - Ukraine is winning and successfully pushing back against the evil and under-equipped Russian forces. It is foiling Russian plans at every turn.

When the war is over, Ukraine will emerge as the winner...by losing a quarter of its territory.
Russia have already taken almost the size of UK.

He is talking about missiles (High Precision Missiles like the Kalibr Cruise Missile, the Iskander Ballistic Missile e.t.c). These missiles can hit target with very high accuracy and are difficult to intercept.

No one knows the quantity of these weapons in Russian inventory. He may be right or wrong.

Ukraine has not started pushing back Russian forces. Although, they manage to take back some villages. But the overall assessment is that Russian forces are making little gains. They have taken almost the whole of Luhansk.

He did not understand the sarcasm.

Any way

Russia takes more than a quarter of the territory of Ukraine and western media convinces its viewers that Russia is losing the war and Ukraine will soon be victorious.
We are living in the Matrix where most people are actually unconscious & believe in false realities.

Right now the EU and NATO are finding it hard to unite against Russia. The EU need Russia more than they need the Evil US and UK. Two nations that are always going out to cause Wars and Destruction everywhere they go. They have never gone out to make sure there is peace. Rather they will go and escalate the situation just to sell their Weapons.

People like Ben Wallace are the problem. Spewing falsities and spreading propaganda to the detriment of dying Ukrainians.

As much as the blood of innocent civilians is on Putin/Russia, Stoltz/EU, Biden/USA, Johnson/UK are also culpable in the death of innocent ukrainian covilians.

There is nothing Glorious about war. Gloating over who's winning or who's losing is senseless.

Propaganda and false news will only get more people killed.

This war is a start to finish war, no retreat no surrender. Wallace can't be wrong because obviously if the Russians maintains the status quo as the war is going they will eventually run out of weapon...
The reason is because the momentum of which they will produce fresh weapon will take longer process than the usual because of the war coupled with the stiff sanctions left and right.

Well, it is Russian bombs wrecking Ukraine, not US or UK bombs...

You guys should not back Russia or the US. If they want to bomb your village because 'it serves their interest' they will do it, with relish. Right now, Russia is playing the part of evil power. Yesterday it was the US in Afghanistan and Iraq.
