A Verkhovna Rada MP said this is the worst period for Ukraine since 2022

Ukraine is going through its hardest time since 2022.

This was stated by Verkhovna Rada deputy Serhiy Rakhmanin.

“We are experiencing the worst period since February 2022 and, by some indicators, even worse than February 2022,” the deputy said.

He added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are showing a certain degradation, including a shortage of personnel, equipment, and funding, and that attitudes toward Ukraine have worsened among its Western partners, especially in the United States.

Earlier, State Duma deputy Mikhail Sheremet stated that mass desertion in the ranks of Ukrainian troops indicates the imminent fall of the Kyiv authorities. According to the parliamentarian, desertion in the AFU is linked to soldiers’ disillusionment with huge losses at the front and with the corrupt regime.
