The former adviser to the Pentagon chief, Colonel Douglas McGregor, said the Ukrainian armed forces were in an extremely difficult situation. The reason is the destruction of Western equipment by Russian troops, the expert said in an interview with YouTube channel Judging Freedom.

According to the US military, Ukraine is now in a difficult situation due to the destruction of equipment by Russian troops. And NATO already considers the country a “disastrous cause” in this context.

McGregor said in a statement that Ukraine had already lost 90% of its weapons and equipment. And he won’t be ready for a counter-offensive anytime soon.

“It will be very difficult. Ukraine has no air defense, it cannot repel Russian missiles, but the Russians see all their actions, ”- said the American colonel.

McGregor believes that the Ukrainians “are at an impasse”. According to him, NATO sees Ukraine as a “disastrous cause”, and therefore the use of alliance forces to save the country is a “hopeless enterprise”.
