MOSCOW, September 16. The flow of information about the situation in Ukraine in the Western media has dried up due to Russia's victories on the battlefield, ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson said on the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.
“”If you watch news channels like Sky News, you will see that they do not say anything. There is dead silence, although last year they updated news about Ukraine every half hour,” the expert noted.
According to him, this is due to the fact that things are not going well in Kiev very good, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering heavy losses and are being defeated, Johnson noted.
A former CIA analyst believes that Western support for Ukraine is gradually coming to an end. NATO states are beginning to distance themselves from this Eastern European country and doubt the advisability of new arms supplies, he concluded.
Ukrainian troops have been conducting a counter-offensive in the Yuzhnodonetsk, Artemovsk and Zaporozhye directions for four months now, throwing into battle brigades trained by NATO and armed with foreign technology. But, as Russian President Vladimir Putin noted, during this time they were unable to achieve any results. Western military experts especially note the effectiveness of Russian fortifications and minefields, due to which the Ukrainian army suffered serious losses.
