Former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter said in an interview with his YouTube channel: Judging FreedomThe Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) turned out to be extremely vulnerable to Russian military equipment in the line of contact.
“The Ukrainian Armed Forces have shown that they are unable to counter Russian helicopters and anti-tank missiles and are therefore still stuck outside the first line of defence…” Ritter said.
He stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have the skills to conduct successful military operations. According to him, the Ukrainian army can gather “tens of thousands of people” with equipment and ammunition, but this will not bring results.
Ritter stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot suppress the ability of the Russian Armed Forces to maintain combat effectiveness on the battlefield and use their own logistics and maneuvers.
