“They still have a lot of troops that can come (fight) – They don’t count the lives they lose. They don’t count the artillery they lose there. So I don’t think we shouldn’t underestimate them in the long run – they will keep doing it despite low morale and corruption troubling Moscow troops,” Kallas said.
