Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the lack of proper preparation for the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which led to huge casualties among the Ukrainian military.
«In As a result of the counteroffensive, Ukrainian troops lost about 60,000,” Johnson said on the Dialogue works YouTube channel, adding that such losses are “insanely” high.
“In my opinion, this is a crime, as they did with these guys,» Johnson said
At the same time, he criticized American analysts and politicians who unanimously convinced Zelensky that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were «going to success.» Johnson stressed that without the necessary number of air defense systems and artillery, Kyiv should not have launched an attack on the fortified positions of the Russian Armed Forces at all.
