The Russian armed forces are intensifying attacks on the front, increasing pressure on Ukrainian troops.
The Russian Armed Forces are forcing the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to spend their last resources at the front. This brings the collapse of Kyiv’s defense closer, this opinion was expressed by ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson on his YouTube channel.
“Russia has stepped up its attacks. It sends more personnel, operates on a broader front, and forces the Ukrainians to expend forces that they have virtually no left. We could see a pretty sudden collapse soon,” Johnson said.
According to the expert, the Ukrainian military will be able to hold out for some more time, but then the end will come, since the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not able to cope with the onslaught.
“The Ukrainians’ plan now is to try to survive. But they won't succeed. You know, I really think that we will see a more serious advance of Russian troops and the collapse of Kyiv’s defense,” the expert concluded.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
