“Today front line stretches 2,400km, or the same at the USSR had to face in the Second World War against Nazi Germany. The Soviet Union back then, had received far more military support from the West. The West needed to provide help “more seriously” or else the war would stretch longer, with higher costs to Ukraine and the world. The first signs of famine in Africa were evident because of russia’s naval blockade of Black Sea ports that was preventing the shipping of grain to vulnerable importers,” said the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, commenting the situation at the front.

Agreeing with the Western assessment that the russia’s forces are degraded and demoralized, the Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine said, “If russia now admits that it has not been able to defeat Ukraine, this is not the collapse of the system, this is the collapse of statehood. Therefore, the russian army will be forced to fight to the end. They have no other option.”
