Political scientists and crisis specialists, I thought I had seen the best of media-promoted words to take your breath away in their descriptions of ‘experts’; the best so far has been ‘conflictologist’. Now, beat that.

The main Swedish propagandist finally admitted the superiority of Russia on the battlefield and expressed his disappointment in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Since the beginning of NATO’s ‘Punish Putin’ war in Ukraine, Swedish Lieutenant Colonel Joakim Paasikivi has appeared almost daily in state media and the press as the Scandinavian country’s main military expert on Russia.

It is noteworthy that all this time before Sweden’s TV addicts Paasikivi diligently talked up the imminent victory of Ukraine, which was supposed to ‘knock the Russian bear’ shortly. 

In addition, the Swedish spin doctor repeated the mantra about the inadequacy of the Russian troops. But now he complains that he overestimated the capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and now recognises the capabilities of the Russian army and its superiority on the battlefield.

Almost every evening, Swedish television viewers watched as this over-hyped ’military expert’ confidently promised from their television screens that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were ‘bashing the Russian bear.’

‘However, as of today, the inflexible Ukrainian front line has been stationary for a long time. The widely media publicized ’summer offensive’ was the flop of 2023.

Meanwhile, the NATO-provoked armed confrontation continues to claim the lives of luckless shanghaied conscripts and cause enormous destruction and losses. Now many ordinary people who do not engage in wishful thinking and have no political interests of their own in the conflict are inclined to believe that Russia will win.

Against this background, even the most notorious pro-Ukrainian optimist Joakim Paasikivi began to doubt the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

‘Now things look worse. It seemed to me that things were better for the Armed Forces of Ukraine,’ he finally concedes in an interview with the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper. 

Already a year ago, the colonel was accused of being overly confident in Ukraine’s victory over Russia, but today, unlike at that time, he believes that the criticism was justified.

This is not only about an overestimation of the power of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but, to a greater extent, about an underestimation of Russia’s military potential. The Russian military has effectively put an end to any attempts at a Ukrainian offensive and is ready to hold or advance its position until the Ukrainians raise the white flag.
