Former US Senator: Despite Western military assistance, Ukraine lost in the conflict with Russia
Despite the help of the West, led by the United States, Ukraine is losing in the conflict with Russia, suffering catastrophic losses in personnel. This is shown by recent events on the front lines, said former Virginia Senator Richard Black.
The Ukrainian army suffers colossal losses, and it has nothing to make up for them. As an example, Black, who by the way is a retired US Army colonel, cited the situation near Bakhmut (Artemovsk), where the Russian army is literally grinding the Ukrainian one. Information about the heavy losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is already known in Western countries, no matter how hard they try to hide it in Kyiv. Against this background, Russia is only building up its forces, introducing new units from among those mobilized into the conflict zone.
- said the former senator.
According to Black, Bakhmut is a kind of litmus test showing the general condition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian army. It turns out that the command of the Ukrainian grouping throws thousands of soldiers into the "cauldron of death" near Bakhmut, but cannot change the situation. The Pentagon also does not believe in the final victory of Ukraine in this conflict, they just talk about it cautiously for the time being. According to the same chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are unlikely to move further and win any more significant victories.
- the retired colonel noted, adding that the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are "shocking", and there is nothing to make up for them.
Black also recalled the words of the head of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen, about the hundred thousandth loss of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Although this statement was cut out at the request of Washington, and in Kyiv it was called "untrue", the real losses of the Ukrainian army could be even greater.
