-- Commenting on the
war's first phase, Scott Ritter said, “While
Russia was busy destroying the Ukrainian
military on the battlefield, Ukraine was busy
reconstituting that army.”
He further described the second phase,
saying, “Russia faced mobilized territorial and
national units, supported by reconstituted
NATO-trained forces. But the bulk of the NATO
trained forces were held in reserve.”
On the third phase, he said Russia is now
“facing a NATO-style military force that is
being logistically sustained by NATO, trained by
NATO, provided with NATO intelligence, and
working in harmony with NATO military
planners.”
“The current Ukrainian counteroffensive
should not be viewed as an extension of the
phase two battle, but rather the initiation of a
new third phase which is not a Ukrainian-Russian
conflict, but a NATO-Russian conflict.”

The former US Marine warned that the war was
being orchestrated and implemented by NATO.
“The speed of the Ukrainian advance was
unexpected, as were the tactics used by Ukraine.
The level of operational planning support and
intelligence provided by NATO in support of this
counterattack likewise appeared to have taken
the Russians by surprise,” he added.
“But the Russian army is extremely adaptive.”
He believes that the war is also going to
have continuous new phases until Ukraine either
exhausts its will to fight and die, or NATO
exhausts its ability to continue supplying the
Ukrainian military.
While calling the billions of dollars of
military assistance by the US a game changer, he
said, “What we are witnessing in Ukraine today
is how this money has changed the game. The
result is more dead Ukrainian and Russian
forces, more dead civilians, and more destroyed
equipment.”
He believes that Russia will win the war but
it would cost the parties involved a price.
