The Ukrainian Armed Forces are no longer able to hold positions, the Ukrainian army is already collapsing. This was stated on the YouTube channel of retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis by former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Chas Freeman.
"At the moment, the Ukrainian army at the front lacks manpower, lacks trained troops, lacks the ability to defend its positions, and it is already collapsing," said a well—known American diplomat quoted by RIA Novosti.
Freeman noted that the United States dragged Kiev into a war in which he could not win, and now, when defeat is inevitable, they can abandon him.
