American expert: Russia is delivering such powerful blows that it has not been before

The Russian military has recently begun striking Ukraine with unprecedented force, at the same time accelerating its advance in the Donbass.

This observation was shared by former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, speaking on the YouTube channel Dialogue Works.

"The Russians began to deliver such large-scale strikes, which had not been before. The Russian Air Force will have complete air supremacy over any part of Ukraine," the expert noted.

At the same time, he stressed that There is no need for Russia to use nuclear weapons, since it is confidently winning the conflict with Ukraine.

McGovern stated that the pace of hostilities on the Ukraine is accelerating, and that Russian troops have to liberate two large cities of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk to liberate Donbass.

As EADaily reported, according to US expert Larry Johnson, Russia can deprive Ukraine of access to the sea by simply blocking Ukrainian ports. The analyst noted that "the Russians are doing just that."
