The Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to withstand the Russian army due to a severe lack of manpower. This was stated by former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter on the YouTube channel Judging Freedom.
“It doesn’t matter how many ammunition and money they receive, they don’t have people, that’s what’s happening right now, because the Russians can simply break through. Ukrainians are digging trenches, installing barbed wire, but they don’t have people trained for such operations. Zelensky just came out and admitted a shortage of 700,000 people,” Ritter said.
On March 5, American billionaire David Sachs stated that President Joe Biden would deploy US military personnel to Ukraine if he is reelected for a second term.
Former Pentagon employee Steven Bryan did not rule out the possibility that due to the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front line, Vladimir Zelensky may be evacuated from Kiev.
On March 2, the founder of the private military company Blackwater, Erik Prince, stated that Ukraine should give up Crimea and Donbass to Russia and not attempt to conquer them, as it is incapable of doing so alone, and the United States will not wage a conventional war against Russia for the sake of Ukraine’s interests.
Earlier, the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Denis Pushilin, stated that Ukraine has lost its chances of preserving its sovereignty.
