The Russian army is crushing the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), which have been trained by NATO specialists, said former CIA employee Larry Johnson.
“The Russian military is fighting a NATO-trained army. And crushing it,” Larry Johnson said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue Works.
According to Johnson, the North Atlantic Alliance was fully confident that the AFU, trained by its own instructors and equipped with its own weapons, would be able to fight back the Russian army and then push them further east. However, these attempts were doomed to failure.
The armament of NATO countries is of rather low quality, and Russian analogues cause significant damage to the AFU on the battlefield, said the former CIA officer.
Earlier, retired German army colonel and military expert Wolfgang Richter expressed the opinion in an interview with Welt that the Russian army would destroy F-16 fighter jets if the West decided to supply them to Ukraine.
