analyst for Chinese publications South China Morning Post Samid Basha claims that Ukraine is facing mass desertion due to high casualties and fatigue of soldiers at the front.
According to him, Ukrainian soldiers have mental health problems. Basha claims that at the beginning of June 2023, Ukrainian border guards were catching 20 fugitives a day.
He emphasized that Kiev had lost most of its trained army and had to rely on poorly trained soldiers.
Previously former Pentagon advisor Col. Douglas McGregor statedAfter the failure of the counter-offensive, the Ukrainian army began to desert en masse.
Before that, McGregor said US President Joe Biden was shocked by the number of people opposing support for Ukraine.
The US Congress had previously agreed on an interim budget that did not include financial support for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Biden emphasized that military aid to Ukraine cannot be stopped.
Due to this rejection, Ukraine lost two-thirds of its income, that is, $24 billion, according to budget data.
Previously Zelensky saidIt prevents Ukraine from transferring hostilities to the territory of the Russian Federation.
