There is a dire need of more military and police force to establish basic law and order. But at present, Russia does not have enough troops on the battlefield to keep a major city in Ukraine under its control for long. If the guerrilla war starts after the fall of the Ukrainian government, the Russian army will have to face more difficulties.
Ukraine’s resistance to Russia has stunned military analysts around the world. A week later, Russian forces have still failed to capture any of the neighboring major cities. Some analysts have said that the Russian military has not set a good example in any prolonged war in the past, especially in urban conflict.
Even looking at her current situation, she will not be able to annex Ukraine easily and the Battle of Kyiv could turn out to be a ‘living nightmare’ for her. According to Seth Jones, vice president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, if the Ukrainian war lasts longer, the Russian military will be mired in uncertainty and this has happened in history as well.
Only 3.4 Russian soldiers on 1000 Ukrainians, the benchmark of victory 20
Jones says that Mission Ukraine is being carried out by 1.5 million Russian soldiers and Ukraine has a population of 44 million. In this sense, only 3.4 soldiers are deployed per one thousand people. If we look at the wars fought in history, only those countries have been successful, whose military ratio was higher than this.
- For example, the Allied forces that occupied Germany in 1945 had 89.3 soldiers per thousand people. The NATO army that conquered Bosnia in 1995 had this ratio of 17.5 and in the Kosov War of 2000 it was 19.3. Similarly, the global forces occupying East Timor had 9.8 soldiers per thousand.
- Military analyst and mathematician James Quivillan, in a review in the RAND Corporation, stated the need for a successful operation to be 20 soldiers per thousand population.
This is the reason behind America’s lag in Afghanistan and Iraq He said that the US and its allies had this military ratio in Afghanistan in 2002 and Iraq in 2003, only 0.5 and 6.1 respectively. The result of these wars is in front of everyone.
How will Russia deal if there is a guerrilla war?
Jones says that more military and police force is desperately needed to establish basic law and order. But at present, Russia does not have enough troops on the battlefield to keep a major city in Ukraine under its control for long.
According to Jones, if the guerrilla war begins after the fall of the Ukrainian government, the Russian army will have to face more difficulties. He will be at great risk of being isolated by Ukrainian rebels.
European banks scorched in the fire of sanctions on RussiaEuropean banks also had a bad situation on Wednesday in the stock markets of Europe and Britain due to the continuous strict sanctions on Russia. After three days of decline, many banks have reached an 11-month low.
The European Bank Index also fell for the third day in a row as banks, including Russia’s Sberbank, forced closure of European institutions. It is down 27 percent from the previous month. Many financial companies have made announcements to stop or bring back investments.
Apple, Boeing banned
American tech company Apple has banned the sale of its iPhones and other products in Russia. Ford Motor took a similar step. The Boeing Company stopped the maintenance and technical support of Russian aircraft. American, European and British companies in many other technology and energy sectors have also announced to take such steps.
Technical services, companies blocking advertisingApple said that it will make changes to its Maps app so that it can help the citizens of the UK. At the same time, in Russia, it has stopped users from downing many apps. Similarly, social media platforms are suspending their services, or limiting the spread of news coming from the Russian side. Ads have been blocked from many mobile games and news apps in Russia and Belarus.
Russia’s bet: IT companies exempted from income tax for three years
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced on Wednesday that all IT companies based in Russia would be exempted from paying income tax and fees for three years. Moscow has taken this decision due to economic sanctions imposed on it by Western countries due to Russian attack in Ukraine. The Kremlin insists it has enough resources to withstand sanctions. In recent days, the Russian cabinet has taken several steps to boost the country’s economy.
