The fact is that unfortunately in my opinion he is right. Russia has occupied circa 20% of Ukraine territory and Ukraine has not got a functional army anymore - the average age of soldiers is 43 years, A whole generation of males from 18 to 40 has thus far been wiped out. The fact is that places being attacked by the Russians are abandoned by retreating Ukraine troops.
In the meantime Zelenskyy was in Washibgton, In an address to the Senators he demandxed that an amount of $69 billion be approved by the Senate. According to one Republcian Senator Zlenskyy is not in a position to demand anything - he should have pleaded for the funding, He then had a meeting with the Speaker of the Housse amd the Speaker made it clear to him that before any further aid is considerd the Preident must first approve legislation that effectivly would close the Mexican border.
Zelsenskyy got $400 million in weaponry aid be supplied - nothing else. That is not enough to leave the Ukraine with a situation where the Regime in Kiev will collapse. Neither Euro 54 bilion promised by the Germans are also failing to materialize for the moment bcause ithat would mean exceeding by Germany of the Constitutional limit of their budget. It is still unclear whether and when any money would be forthcoming from Germany,
The fact is that without the money being approved and passed over to Ukraine the regime in Ukraine will collapse. I sad unfortunately that the Russians will advance and conquer Odessa and Kharkov. and then sealed the new border and Ukraine would lose 30% o f its territory - as well as access to the Black Sea.
I said unfcortuntely because the War should never have happened if the USA did not scupper Peacmaking efforts and force the Ukraine into a proxy War fought on behalf of the USA against Russia. Ukraine would have retained the 2015 border of the country and would not have lost territory in the process, F alse victory promises by the USA was farcical.
So now they will lose 30% of their territory and they would never get it back.
