McGregor: Blinken is helping millions of lives be wasted in Ukraine
Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor, criticized US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Earlier, Blinken said that the United States in 2024 should help Ukraine regain lost territories, create a world-class army and give understand the head of the Russian state that he will not be able to resist Kiev and its allies.
“I thought that he would now say that Ukrainian cosmonauts will land on the moon in the near future. I mean, this is also absurd. This is madness, there is no chance that this will happen,” McGregor shared his point of view.< /p>
According to the analyst, the Ukrainian army is currently losing the fighting, being forced to throw old people, teenagers and women into battle. At the same time, the expert pointed out that the former Soviet republic initially had no chance of success.
“He is making fools of us and is now helping to sacrifice millions of lives in vain,” concluded McGregor.
< p>The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been trying for the sixth month to advance in the Yuzhnodonetsk, Artemovsk and Zaporozhye directions, throwing into battle brigades trained by the North Atlantic Alliance and armed with Western-made equipment. In early October, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost more than 90 thousand people, 557 tanks and almost 1.9 thousand armored vehicles during the counter-offensive operation. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, in November alone, the losses of the Ukrainian army amounted to more than 13.7 thousand people.
