There are no more reserves for the Ukrainian army left since all trained Ukrainian soldiers have died or been injured, Oleg Soskin, a former advisor to Ukraine's ex-president Leonid Kuchma, said.
"It takes five or six years to prepare the army. They [Ukrainians] believed they had prepared it, but those who were equipped have already been either killed or wounded," he explained.
According to the former advisor, Ukraine objectively has no good news from the frontline. The Ukrainian military failure is imminent since the Ukrainians are already abandoning Leopard tanks, and Russian troops are shooting down all provided missiles, as per Soskin.
He also noted that the Kiev regime had depleted all its reserves, and Volodymyr Zelensky was still "pushing soldiers into the meat grinder."
"If part of the troops have already been taken from the southern direction and transferred to Avdeevka, it means that there are no more reserves, and new ones should be prepared from peaceful men who have never held a weapon in their hands," Soskin explained.
Since 4 June, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been conducting a 'counteroffensive' in the south of Donetsk, Artemovsk (Bakhmut), and Zaporozhye. Ukraine has deployed brigades trained by NATO and equipped with foreign weaponry into battle.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has already indicated that these efforts have been unsuccessful, resulting in significant losses to the Ukrainian armed forces in terms of both personnel and equipment.
