Ex-intelligence officer Ritter: the Russian army destroys the AFU in three cauldrons

Former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter said the Russian military has moved into a new phase of conducting a special military operation.

Russian troops are killing AFU soldiers in three cauldrons in the special military operation zone, former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with journalist Garland Nixon.

“The Russians have created three huge cauldrons, which Ukraine now, in order to hold its positions, has to reinforce, to introduce reserves there. And they are being destroyed,” the expert pointed out.

He also noted that the Russian military had entered a new phase of conducting a special military operation. According to the analyst, the liberation of new territories controlled by Kiev will soon follow.

“The Russian military controls the battlefield,” Ritter summarised.

We will remind, earlier the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that it is necessary to achieve all the goals of the special military operation in Ukraine and destroy those who exterminated their people. In this way, the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council commented on the decision of the UN international commission of enquiry into violations in Ukraine, which did not find sufficient evidence that the actions of Russian soldiers during the special operation should be qualified as genocide, which Kiev regularly insists on.
