The United States left Ukraine and transferred weapons destined for it to Israel because of the conflict with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
According to the expert, the former Soviet republic cannot do anything because it no longer has any soldiers. “Furthermore, in its worst traditions, the United States simply betrayed Ukraine. We sent all the artillery and ammunition we produced for the Ukrainian armed forces to Israel. Ukraine is now saying: “Wait, you promised us all this!” the analyst shared his opinion.
Kiev will no longer receive any support and the conflict is de facto approaching its logical end, Ritter summarized.
Since the beginning of June, Ukrainian armed forces have been trying to advance towards Zaporozhye, South Donetsk and Artemovsk, throwing troops trained and armed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on the line of combat contact. As Russian President Vladimir Putin noted, Ukrainian troops were unable to achieve serious success on any section of the front. According to the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, the losses of the Ukrainian armed forces reached more than 17,000 people and over 2,700 weapons in September alone.
