US Senator and combat veteran Tom Brewer shares<\/a> his vision of the Ukraine war after personal frontline visits. He compares modern battles to the scale of World Wars I and II and notes the resilience of Ukrainian troops facing a much larger army daily. Brewer also explains Russian army weaknesses \u2014 logistics problems, command issues, and lack of strong NCO corps. <\/p>\n

The conversation covers the role of drones that radically changed modern warfare, the need for greater military aid to Ukraine, and why territorial concessions would only prolong the conflict. The senator emphasizes: just peace is possible only with strong pressure on Russia and reliable security guarantees for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Your frontline experience in Ukraine \u2014 as someone who saw the war not from an office but from the trenches \u2014 and also your multiple visits here, I think eight times now\u2026 What changed in terms of actual combat on the battlefield? What has impressed you the most from 2022 to today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 People need to understand that the combat we saw in the American army, and really all NATO forces that were part of ISAF in Afghanistan, was minimal compared to what Ukrainian soldiers are seeing. We had a very structured situation: you lived on combat outposts or camps, you went out for a mission for a day, and then came back and took a break for a day or two. Most engagements were small. Roadside bombs were the most effective in terms of damaging or injuring NATO soldiers.<\/p>\n

Coming into the environment I saw on the Eastern Front was a day-and-night difference. This was World War I, World War II\u2013level fighting, day and night, virtually no breaks. It\u2019s impressive that they can maintain that pace and that they can go against an army they were never expected to match \u2014 and defeat them in detail on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

\u2014 I\u2019m sure you had thoughts about what the Russian army actually was before visiting Ukraine. After seeing what you saw, has your attitude changed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Those of us who have been in the military for a long time \u2014 I go back to the 1970s \u2014 trained to fight the battle of the Fulda Gap in Germany. We studied Soviet weapons and tactics and were prepared for that fight.<\/p>\n

A lot carried over: weapon systems, tactics. But I think all of us were surprised \u2014 whether you go to Ukraine and see it firsthand or read about it \u2014 because we saw Russia as a giant modern, sophisticated army, perceived as the number two or number three army in the world.<\/p>\n

China complicates the ranking, but China hasn\u2019t fought a war in recent times, so no one knows. Russia, meanwhile, was in Syria, in Chechnya, on battlefields. But if you look closely at what they did in Georgia, Chechnya, and Syria, there were indicators that they weren\u2019t the army they claimed to be. They had flaws, and those flaws appeared in those smaller engagements \u2014 and now they\u2019re compounded in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u2014 And these flaws \u2014 what are they?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 They have no NCO corps. The American and NATO armies depend on their NCO corps. A sergeant is trained and smart enough to take command, make decisions, and ensure an objective is seized.<\/p>\n

Russia has a structure where only officers know what\u2019s going on and have leadership training. If something happens to an officer, or if the officer is weak, the entire unit is immediately in peril.<\/p>\n

Add to that their failure in logistics. Some of that is because Ukrainian weapons are striking deeper and disrupting resupply. But Russia has issues across the board: logistics, administration, and unit leadership \u2014 none of which can be fixed easily.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They also have a mindset where a subordinate should not know as much as the superior, because he might take the superior\u2019s position. We work hard to find someone better than us, so soldiers always have a good leader. It\u2019s a completely different mindset.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Right. That\u2019s the rigid system Vladimir Putin built. He prefers hearing what he likes rather than actual intel. Am I wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Combine that with the fact that if you don\u2019t give him a good report, you might go missing. They\u2019ve built a house of cards, and I don\u2019t see how they can change the situation. They don\u2019t have reserves. Their best and brightest soldiers have been killed. As they become weaker and less effective, Ukraine becomes more effective and is increasingly able to affect Russia\u2019s ability to conduct day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n

\u2014 As a combat officer and Afghanistan veteran, what technology is currently changing faster than all others? What is the main one?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Any key NATO country \u2014 and likely China \u2014 would say drones. Drones have drastically changed the battlefield. Even more impressive is Ukraine\u2019s ability to go from producing 3 million drones a year to a projected 7 million next year.<\/p>\n

The United States is now going to Ukraine to learn about drone technology. No one would have thought that in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is why so many of us believe it\u2019s foolish not to allow Ukraine into NATO. When this war ends, the best-trained, best-equipped, and most future-prepared army in terms of combat operations will be the Ukrainian army.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Well, if NATO doesn\u2019t want to accept Ukraine, maybe Ukraine should accept NATO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 I agree. In Afghanistan, we saw that some NATO countries do not have the will to fight. They are paper tigers. They provide nice vehicles, look good in uniform, but some preferred to sit around and drink cappuccino rather than go out and defeat the enemy.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Let\u2019s move to U.S. military aid. Some experts say American aid is barely sufficient for Ukraine to survive but not to win. Would you agree?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 I would. We must not pull back intelligence. American intelligence capabilities can change the course of the war if used fully.<\/p>\n

The situation has forced NATO and the EU to think about how to protect themselves and organize as a group with less reliance on the United States. I don\u2019t believe the U.S. will ever leave NATO \u2014 it\u2019s essential. Some of the rhetoric is chest-pumping and positioning.<\/p>\n

\u2014 If it were up to you, what critically needed weapons that have not yet been sent should be sent?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 I would pressure the Germans. The Taurus missile is incredibly accurate and can defeat electronic jamming. It\u2019s terrain-following like the Tomahawk. And of course, the Tomahawk itself.<\/p>\n

For those of us who care deeply about Ukraine, it\u2019s heartbreaking to know that weapon systems exist that could end the war in weeks. If Ukraine could strike key railheads, bridges, ammunition depots, harbors, refineries \u2014 in a coordinated series of strikes \u2014 Russia would be forced to end the war. Then comes the challenge of ensuring a just ending with security guarantees.<\/p>\n

\u2014 It\u2019s painful to hear the war could be stopped in weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 There\u2019s been a process of growing Ukraine\u2019s army and confidence. But I think we\u2019re now prolonging the war unnecessarily.<\/p>\n

\u2014 A statement: pressure on Ukraine to accept territorial concessions only prolongs the war and doesn\u2019t help end it. Right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 If it prolongs the war, it\u2019s because Russia hasn\u2019t changed its position.<\/p>\n

I firmly believe that Ukrainians have paid a dear price in blood and treasure for their land. You didn\u2019t invade \u2014 you were invaded. Rewarding the enemy by giving them the land you paid for is not the right answer.<\/p>\n

Instead, you must apply such pressure on Russia \u2014 stopping illegal oil shipments, shutting down ports, even airfields \u2014 that they eventually say, \u201cWe can\u2019t do this anymore.\u201d The resolution should not include giving up your land.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2014 If Ukraine does not win, will Putin go further?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 There\u2019s nothing to indicate he won\u2019t. He has a burning hatred of Ukraine. A ceasefire would only allow him to reset, rebuild, and try again. A ceasefire must come with security guarantees \u2014 real ones backed by American resources and manpower \u2014 not just paper.<\/p>\n

\u2014 If tomorrow you woke up as commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, what would be your first order?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 I\u2019d assess forces and positions. Inevitably, you need to replicate what happened in the fall of 2022 in Kharkiv \u2014 a deep penetration. Russians do not operate well on the run.<\/p>\n

If Ukraine had had fuel and logistics, they could have pushed Russia back to the border.<\/p>\n

I would create the logistical conditions to penetrate and continue pushing to the Russian border. Then I would prioritize the south \u2014 the approaches to Crimea. Crimea is strategic and Ukrainian. It should not be taken off the table.<\/p>\n

Americans, if smart, would help secure it long-term. You must have vision to break the stalemate, which only consumes lives. A decisive action that systematically changes the war is the right answer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ukraine has done this before \u2014 the deep penetration into Kursk is an example. But Ukraine wants Ukrainian ground, not Russian ground. It\u2019s about picking the right point, bypassing defenses, trenches, mines, dragon\u2019s teeth \u2014 then shortening the war.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Last question. This interview \u2014 and everything you do for Ukraine \u2014 looks like Ukraine\u2019s struggle is personal for you. Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 From my first trip to Ukraine, I found a welcoming people \u2014 very different from what many Americans imagine. Americans often perceive Ukrainians as a flavor of Russians. They are the opposite: more passion, more heart, down-to-earth, like country folks who welcome you into their home, give you borshch, share their family and community.<\/p>\n

You almost feel like you\u2019re back home in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

Ukrainians won my heart. I decided this would be my mission. At some point, you can choose to sit by a river and fish \u2014 or you can choose a life that helps others and betters the world. That is a richer, purposeful life.<\/p>\n
