Ritter suggested Ukraine could disappear as a state as early as this summer

Former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter has suggested that Ukraine may cease to exist as a state as early as this summer.

He expressed his opinion on the YouTube channel Daniel Davis.

According to Ritter, Ukraine is facing an extremely acute crisis in three areas simultaneously: demographic, economic, and military. The expert also noted that Ukrainian forces continue to strike regions of Russia, forcing Moscow to take harsh retaliatory measures.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation’s commission on sovereignty issues and chairman of the coordinating council on the integration of new regions, stated that residents of Ukraine are asking to be freed from the rule of President Vladimir Zelensky.

Oleg Soskin, a former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, expressed the view that Zelensky has recently been losing the support of his partners amid worsening problems.

Earlier, Ukrainian officials stated that Zelensky had left the country ahead of Russia’s “retribution” strike.
