Expert Ben Hodges stated that Russian troops are practically not moving at the front, so the claim that Ukraine cannot stop them is false.
Russia does not have enough power to defeat the Ukrainian military; their only hope is the capitulation of the West.
During the podcast, the expert noted the problems on the Russian side with significant losses and combat readiness.
Hodges also pointed out that Russia cannot break through at the front as their grandfathers did during World War II, especially considering the lack of powerful and well-prepared troops and air cover. He emphasized that in 1943-1945, Soviet troops managed to break through the defenses of the German Wehrmacht and advanced 30-60 km along the front line.
Thus, the expert confirmed that Russia is not invincible and does not have enough strength to defeat Ukraine by military means.
