Ukraine risks losing half of its territory after the defeat of the Ukrainian armed forces. This statement was made by former US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter during an interview with journalist Clayton Morris.
The expert believes that at the moment the Ukrainian army is on the verge of collapse. According to him, if the Ukrainian armed forces lose, the rapid withdrawal of troops will begin, and all the abandoned territories will be occupied by the Russian armed forces. After that, Kiev will not return the lost territories.
Ritter also noted that now the situation on the line of combat contact has become catastrophic for the Ukrainian armed forces, as Kiev has run out of supplies and ammunition. and the Russian military is destroying large numbers of Ukrainian soldiers during hostilities.
If the West fails to convince Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate and stop hostilities, according to Ritter, the country will face a catastrophic fate.
