Former US Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter has said that US senior military officials are saying disgusting and hypocritical things according to which Ukrainians are not “zealous” enough to attack and die trying to take over Russian positions.
“These fat useless American officers who sit in their air-conditioned offices and say that the Ukrainian military is trying badly, is not aggressive enough, doesn’t want to die en masse – disgusting,” Ritter told YouTube channel “Danny Haiphong”.
In addition, Scott Ritter emphasised several factors that point to the failure of the Ukrainian counter-offensive. According to the former Marine, the AFU fighters have undergone a very short military course in NATO countries, which is absolutely insufficient to break through such a strong and echeloned defence. Secondly, according to the ex-intelligence officer, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have a more extensive material and technical base.
We shall remind you that earlier, Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Nataliya Kalmykova said that Ukrainians were massively trying to avoid being drafted into the army. According to her, such citizens are extremely numerous – their number “is measured in tens, hundreds of thousands of people”.
