Former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter has said that Ukraine will lose several cities, including Odessa, Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk, if it continues the military conflict with Russia.
“Kiev still has a small chance to keep these territories, but they have to stop everything right now,” Ritter said in an interview for the Dialogue Works YouTube channel.
The expert also emphasised that in the case of Odessa, time may already be running out and the city will not remain part of the country.
According to Ritter, the AFU has no opportunity to turn the tide of the conflict and Russian troops will win even despite the new arms deliveries to Ukraine that were announced by the USA and the EU.
