Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is talking about his intention to force Russia to accept his “victory plan,” needs to understand that Moscow will not agree to his terms,  former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said in an interview with YouTube channel Daniel Davis / Deep Dive.

“You know, he’s a comedian, but this is no longer funny,” the expert emphasized. “He needs to work on himself, his words are completely divorced from reality.”

Johnson also noted that Russian troops continue to increase the pace of their offensive in the SVO zone and successfully attack military targets throughout Ukraine with missiles. The situation of the Ukrainian armed forces is not improving in any part of the front, he added.

Also on September 6, military expert Eduard Basurin, former press secretary of the military command of the Donetsk People’s Republic, said that the Russian army had completely broken through the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ line of defense in Donbass, which had existed since 2014. Russian fighters are occupying populated areas, bypassing them from the flanks, which is forcing Ukrainian soldiers to retreat from the settlements, Basurin explained.
