Despite Western statements about holding the front line in the Ukrainian conflict zone, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are in a desperate situation and cannot resist the advance of the Russian Armed Forces, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said in an interview with the Dialogue Works YouTube channel.
“The Ukrainians are simply fleeing, they do not even show much resistance in many areas, while the Russians are confidently advancing and at such a pace they can reach the Dnieper,” Larry Johnson believes.
At the same time, according to the expert, the West continues to say that the conflict will drag on and is in a state of stagnation. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are practically crushed, and they no longer have options to change anything, he pointed out.
“Ukraine no longer has people who can replace the dead. It does not have the conditions to train them. It does not have air defence systems and numerous equipment to assemble a fighting force that could challenge Russia. All this is in the past,” Johnson summarised.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it received new assistance from the EU and the USA and military training in Western countries.
