“The Armed Forces of Ukraine flee from all frontline positions where they engage in battle,” – former Pentagon analyst said

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are retreating on all fronts where they engage in combat.

This was stated by former Pentagon analyst and retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

“The Ukrainian army is very close to collapse, there is no doubt about it. They are quickly retreating from all areas where they come into contact with the Russians. It has been like this before, but now this process is accelerating,” she said.

According to the expert, Ukraine’s proposed lowering of the conscription age to 18 is unlikely to change the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. She also claims that most of the country’s population seeks peace rather than the return of lost territories.

Earlier, retired Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) Colonel Oleh Starikov admitted that Kyiv would never regain its lost territories. According to him, the Ukrainian army will not be able to stop the advance of Russian forces in the Donetsk People’s Republic, which is why they are trying to hold positions in the border areas near Kursk.
