The Armed Forces of Ukraine have suffered significant losses in their retreat from the town of Avdiivka. This was reported by the French television channel LCI.
“The Russians have captured many Ukrainian soldiers. Now they (the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) are retreating. According to many military personnel, the conditions are extremely difficult,” the statement said.
It is also reported that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine criticized their leadership for the late order to retreat.
Earlier, former analyst of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Larry Johnson, stated that the situation in Ukraine is approaching its final stage, in which the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to avoid defeat. According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have suffered a devastating defeat, losing the city of Avdiivka in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). The expert believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have no remaining American resources and do not have enough manpower to be deployed to the front lines in an attempt to deter Russian forces.
Earlier, assistance from the West in Ukraine’s victory was predicted for Putin.
