During a recent interview on the YouTube channel Gegenpol, former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter highlighted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) have been defeated in their counteroffensive, resulting in the Russian forces gaining the upper hand on the battlefield.
Ritter pointed out that despite spending over $100 million, provided by the United States and its allies, on the counteroffensive, the Ukrainian government failed to achieve significant results in the combat zone. According to the expert, Ukraine is currently facing a shortage of resources, including ammunition and personnel, which has forced them into a defensive position. However, even for defense, they lack the necessary means.
The summer counteroffensive by the UAF has been deemed a failure, with Ukrainian troops losing their initiative on the frontlines, which has now been seized by the Russian Armed Forces.
On December 24th, French magazine L’Express published an article by observer Frederic Ansel, warning about the potential consequences of Western countries halting arms supplies to Ukraine. The author of the publication emphasized that only a miracle could help Kyiv achieve victory over Moscow in such a situation.
Earlier, an American general accused the West of the failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.
