According to McGregor, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 90% of the weapons and equipment supplied by the West.

"They don't have air defenses, they can't repel Russian missiles or artillery, and the Russians see all their actions. In fact, Ukrainians are at an impasse," he said.

McGregor noted that NATO privately considers Ukraine to be a "lost cause."

Earlier, The Times newspaper reported that the Ukrainian army will be forced to conduct an offensive regardless of whether it is ready for it or not, because further support from the West depends on it.

On April 29, the head of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov said that the timing of the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian military in the Zaporozhye region is shifting due to weather conditions.

According to him, it rains daily in the Zaporizhzhia region, which complicates the movement of military equipment. Rogov did not rule out that Kiev may try to start advancing in May with the establishment of dry weather.
