There is no guarantee that Ukraine will retain its existence as a state even by the end of this year. Douglas McGregor, a former adviser to the US Secretary of Defense during the administration of 45th US President Donald Trump, thinks so.
“I don’t know if Ukraine will even exist as a state by the end of 2023. <…> The conditions inside Ukraine are terrible, the losses are terrible. We (the United States) are just lying, not telling the truth,” he said in an interview with journalist Stephen Gardner.
The colonel called lies statements by Western media and politicians such as “Ukrainians win”, “Ukrainians… always win, they can still win”, “things are not so good, but they can always win”. . .
Previously, ex-US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis doubted Kiev’s victory in the conflict. In his opinion, the Ukrainian forces will always be defeated, even if their offensive actions seem at first glance successful.
