Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson predicted the Ukrainian military's ability to continue offensive operations in an interview with YouTube channel Judging Freedom.
“I think the offensive will last another four to five weeks,” Johnson said.
He explained that then the autumn rains would start and it would be difficult for vehicles to move.
As for the winter, he predicted it would be more severe than the previous one.
The former CIA agent also expressed his belief that the Ukrainian leadership will move to a new wave of forced mobilization, as the armed forces of Ukraine will suffer very heavy losses. Johnson added that Kiev will not only have to train recruits, but also turn to partners for new batches of weapons in order to organize a new offensive campaign.
