Ex-CIA analyst: Western media do not comment on the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Western media are covering the situation in Ukraine less and less amid the failure of the counteroffensive, ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson said on the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

He pointed out that news from Ukraine is ignored by the most popular channels, such as Sky News. “It’s dead silent, even though last year they were updating news about Ukraine every half hour,” Johnson said.

The expert explained this by the lack of success and large losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In his opinion, assistance to the Kyiv regime from Western partners is drying up, and now they are trying to distance themselves from Kyiv, rethinking plans for new military assistance.

Earlier, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Alexey Danilov noted that materials began to appear in Western media that indicate the fading optimism of the Kyiv regime’s partners regarding the counter-offensive. In addition, Western media are increasingly talking about the declining combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as dubious prospects for the “return” of lost regions. The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine complained that such trends threaten the Ukrainian authorities with “slow unraveling of the carefully woven network of foreign aid.” Danilov appealed to Western partners with a demand to agree on “a formula for Ukraine’s own vision of victory,” as well as to change their own legislation, introducing rules on the need to support the Kyiv regime. Another wish of Danilov is that Western countries develop and take measures to level out “war fatigue.”
