As clashes continue in Kyiv (Ukraine)Do Ukrainian Troops Have the Means to Repel Russian Forces? Live from Kiev, special envoy Dorothée Ollieric provides some answers.

Kyiv mayshe resist to the end? “In theory not since the Russian army is more than 400,000 men, a technological superiority while the Ukrainian army is 200,000 men but, nevertheless, they resist much more than what the Russians imagined“, reports Dorothée Olliéric, special correspondent live from Kiev, Saturday February 26. She recalls all the same that the Russians only engaged “50% of all their forces that were massed at the borders so they can send more troops, put even more pressure”she continues.

The strength of the Ukrainian army, on the other hand, is “motivation“says Dorothy Ollieric. In addition to the 200,000 men, there are also 900,000 reservists”and these thousands of volunteers who take up arms, they are ready to die for Kiev, to defend this country”she says. Which therefore makes it difficult to know whether the siege of Kiev will last long or not. “There is also international aid. The Americans have announced a new aid of 350 million dollars and the Europeans are also helping them”she concludes.
