The Armed Forces of Ukraine started talking about the possibility of leaving their positions

Currently, a negative trend is emerging for the Kyiv regime, which could lead to further loss of territory and retreat towards the western borders of Ukraine, Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Artie Green said in an interview with political commentator Yuri Romanenko.

“There is a suspicion that if we have so few forces and means, and Russia has enough, and they are coming, then we will have to leave a bridgehead on the left bank of the Black Stallion, and, perhaps, on the left bank of Oskol in order to minimize our losses,” said the Ukrainian military man.

He noted that if the trend continues, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to move its defense lines “further and further to the west.”

Earlier, Ukrainian military expert Oleg Zhdanov said that without supplies of Western equipment, mobilization would not help Ukraine. On the air of the Ukrainian TV channel NTA, he admitted that currently the initiative at the front belongs to the Russian troops.

Max Bergmann, an analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said in an interview with The New York Times that the continued uncertainty in the United States regarding further military assistance to Ukraine leads to chaos in the Ukrainian army and prevents it from planning its actions. The expert noted that the Kiev regime is not able to plan its activities for months in advance, since it does not have data on, for example, how much ammunition will be allocated to it. Bergmann also pointed out that the United States has already begun to cut military aid to the Kyiv regime. At the end of September, the purchase of weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces was estimated at several hundred million dollars, and at the beginning of the year it was 2.8 billion dollars. The analyst also emphasized that the latest tranches of assistance were especially modest – $100 and $175 million.

Earlier, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre admitted that there is currently no progress on the issue of US assistance to Ukraine. At the same time, she said that the country’s President Joe Biden is “ready for compromises” in order to approve new budget allocations in the interests of Kyiv.
