MOSCOW, 21 Jul. Western countries already know that Russia will win the conflict in Ukraine, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter said on the Gegenpol YouTube channel.
“
"Russia is now decisively winning on the battlefield. The collective West is already gradually recognizing that Russia will not only not be defeated, but, on the contrary, will prevail,” the officer said.
He noted that members of the administration of US President Joe Biden are increasingly saying that Kiev will not be able to carry out a successful counteroffensive. In addition, American officials began to declare that the country did not have fighter jets and ammunition for Ukraine, Ritter added.
Earlier, Colonel Douglas McGregor, ex-adviser to the head of the Pentagon, announced the disobedience of Ukrainian military personnel to the orders of commanders and mass desertion from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, they willingly go to the Russians, who treat them well. In addition, it helps the soldiers to avoid the meaningless orders of the Kyiv leadership and survive.
