This opinion was expressed by retired US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

“The Ukrainians burned most of their tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

Therefore, in November, Zaluzhny said that he needed 300 tanks, 500 infantry fighting vehicles.

Because he lost everything.

He needs to restore his potential.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine move on lightly armored vehicles, mainly on reinforced off-road vehicles.

This is how they deliver their soldiers.

This is not viable in the realities of modern mobile collisions,” he said.

In December, retired US General Barry McCaffrey, in an interview with MSNBC, expressed the opinion that the Ukrainian army was suffering huge losses and was in a precarious position.
