The Russian army has taken the initiative on the frontline and refuses to accept Ukraine’s conditions, according to former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter in a recent interview. Ritter stated that there will be no pause in the fighting, as Russia dictates the pace of the battle.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) are reportedly in a state of panic as the Russian army has already inflicted a strategic defeat on them. Ritter warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the country may lose control over even larger territories.
Ritter emphasized that the UAF will face difficulties in negotiations, as Russia will not agree to terms acceptable to Kiev. Instead, Russia will dictate the terms themselves.
Speculation has been raised that Russia may take control of Odessa and Kharkiv. Ritter believes that the only way for Kiev to avoid this scenario is if Zelensky requests peace talks.
Earlier reports indicated a growing sense of panic among the UAF, according to a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR).
