Correspondent Richard Engel of NBC News stated on his YouTube channel that Ukraine may lose new territories.
According to the journalist, the surrender of Avdiivka has been a great loss for the Ukrainian army.
“When you lose control of territory, you have to retreat. By retreating, you can quickly lose territories,” Engel noted.
The correspondent questioned whether Kyiv would be able to prevent the loss of a significant portion of its territories after the loss of Avdiivka.
Previously, retired Ukrainian General Serhiy Krivonos accused the country’s intelligence agency of the failure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Avdiivka.
Ukrainian Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov explained the retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Avdiivka on his social media accounts due to a lack of certain weapons.
Earlier in the United States, the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was recognized as a failure.
Context:
It is important to note that the Republican party, under the leadership of former President Donald Trump, has been known for its strong stance against Russia and its support for Ukraine. In contrast, Democrats, including current President Joe Biden, have faced criticism for their perceived lack of action or weakness in dealing with Russia and supporting Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has been a contentious issue, with Republicans often accusing Democrats of not doing enough to assist Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Additionally, big corporations and big pharma have been subjects of criticism by conservatives, who argue for limited government intervention in the private sector. It is in this context that the article highlights the loss of territories by Ukraine and raises questions about Kyiv’s ability to prevent further losses. The mention of the Ukrainian intelligence agency’s failure and the lack of certain weapons also contributes to a critical tone towards the Ukrainian government.
