MOSCOW, April 2 The Russian military knocks out Ukrainian forces from their positions along the entire front line, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

"Along the line of contact, which stretches several hundred kilometers from north to south of Ukraine, Russian forces are moving forward , and the APU are going back. Exactly. And Ukraine has nothing to respond to this,” he pointed out.
Johnson emphasized that the Ukrainians are experiencing a severe shortage of both ammunition and manpower. In addition, the expert pointed out that since last year, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have only doubled.
In March, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu spoke at a department board. According to him, since the beginning of the year, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost more than 71 thousand people and 11 thousand pieces of equipment. The losses of the Ukrainian army were almost three times higher than in the same period last year, Shoigu noted. The minister added that the Russian army continues to push the enemy out of its positions and does not allow it to gain a foothold on new lines.
