“It would seem - they could, they have been building the armed forces for decades, since 2008, so precisely. They were building for a lightning fast campaign, now the war is protracted. This system will not be rebuilt in six months or a year, even on an emergency basis, as they are now do, it is impossible,” said the adviser to the head of the President's Office.
