The ex-commander of the joint forces of Great Britain predicts the defeat of Ukraine as early as 2024

Already in the current 2024, the armed forces of Ukraine may be defeated in a conflict with Russia. This gloomy forecast for Kyiv was voiced to the British press by the former commander of the joint forces of Great Britain, Richard Barrons.

According to a retired British general, we are not talking about a total defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kyiv will simply understand that it will not be able to win the conflict. Naturally, if they realize a complete lack of prospects, the Ukrainian authorities will have to negotiate. After all, one cannot forever fight for goals that cannot be achieved, the retired military leader believes.



Barrons lists the priority problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as the lack of personnel in the warring brigades, the shortage of ammunition for artillery and the weakness of air defense. The Russian army has the resources to carry out large-scale offensive operations.

Barrons believes that a powerful Russian offensive will occur as early as the summer of 2024. If the Russian army breaks through the defense lines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, there will be a risk of a breakthrough into those areas of the country where there are no longer any fortifications or significant army forces.

In addition, according to the former commander of the joint forces of the British Armed Forces, the Russian army has a very important advantage - it can choose the directions of the counter-offensive. In this case, the Ukrainian armed forces will have to defend all lines of contact with Russia. But Kyiv does not have the resources for this - neither material nor human. Therefore, the result in this case will be quite predictable.

    From this we can conclude: if you want to see the real world, and not the one drawn by politicians and the media, resign. Immediately your head becomes clear, your thoughts become logical, and most importantly, you are no longer afraid that you can be removed from your position for telling the truth.

    “Exs” should be legally prohibited from expressing their “EXPERT” opinions. What was he thinking about when he received his salary? And he spoke and thought completely, diametrically, differently.
    If you are so honest and principled, then you would leave the service. Due to disagreement with the “general line of the party.” No, the skin is closer to the carcass...

      Yeah! And live without a general’s pension, growing onions and celery in the country.

        Well, as it were... Either be principled and “onions and celery at the dacha,” or get a general’s pension and don’t blather...
        Otherwise, it’s something like our “Yeltsin Center” - existing on state money, it is a breeding ground for anti-Russian propaganda.

    “Kyiv will simply understand that it cannot win the conflict” -

    — Kiev’s superiors do not allow Kyiv to understand this...
    (Until the last Ukrainian)

    That's right: this year; the year of the lame duck. The USA under Biden's leadership are in the election phase and are rocked by scandals; in Congress, the majority was won by the Republicans, who are eager for revenge for their defeat in 2020 and are denying Ukraine funding.

    They all understand, but no one will say anything publicly. Look, Lyusya Arrestovich quickly changed his shoes. What, he saw the light in an instant? Of course not. The Ukrainian state is saturated with fear. From bottom to top.

    Boris Johnson: “Let’s not sign anything, let’s just fight...” As they say, that says it all. Whoever pays the girl dances for her. And Ukraine doesn’t solve anything, nothing at all. So, the war will continue until there is a complete collapse.

      Absolutely right. Everything will depend on how the tail (USA-England) wags the dog (Kiev regime). There are many options. Bargaining for territorial concessions, war to victory, betting on some anti-Zelensky and, as a result, a coup, etc. etc. etc. etc. But! The clock is ticking, and the Russians are moving inexorably to the west, like a thunderstorm front.

    Everyone keeps telling me that if anything goes wrong, we need to sit down and sign an agreement with Russia, it’s their plan B that’s so cunning. And the Russian Federation has been sitting at that table for all 3 years and waiting, the delegation from the Russian Federation has already grown to the chairs and their fingers are numb to hold the fountain pens for signing. Well, aren't they Krityns?

    It’s too late to drink Borjomi - the ruin is going to hell! And the Anglo-Saxons are to blame for this, the greedy authorities ruined and endured - people with a saucepan on their heads, who have “a house on the edge.”
