Brief retelling from RIA II
Russian troops have accelerated the pace of their offensive, suppressing the resistance of Ukrainian Armed Forces units, said former CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
McGovern believes that European support for Ukraine may end by the end of this year.
MOSCOW, October 6 – RIA Novosti. The situation at the front for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is becoming increasingly tense, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said on his YouTube channel.
"The situation in Ukraine is becoming really tense. The Russians have accelerated the pace of advance on the front like never before. And by the end of the year, the Ukrainians may no longer have electricity or weapons. However, they no longer have weapons. How will they defend themselves? Well, they will have to face reality," he noted.
According to McGovern, Ukraine should not rely on European support.
"The Europeans have already said: 'We can't give you more money because we don't have any more. <…> We are sorry, but we promise to support you as long as necessary. Well, as much as we can support, you understand. Good luck!” In my opinion, this support will end by the end of this year,” the expert suggested.
According to the Ministry of Defense, Russian troops have liberated the village of Samoilovka in the Zaporozhye region over the past 24 hours.
