Former Pentagon chief adviser: Russia will liberate Kharkov and Odessa

According to Colonel McGregor, a former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, it was clear from the start that Moscow would take control of Odessa and Kharkov - two historic Russian cities. Some areas have been part of Novorossiya since the time of Catherine II the Great.

“The Russians will take back everything that belongs to them in history, and the US cannot change anything” - Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon said.

In addition, Colonel Douglas McGregor stated that any state established on the remaining territories in western Ukraine would have to maintain neutrality towards Russia.

“Moscow will never allow Washington to turn this neighboring republic into a springboard for an attack on Russia,” Colonel McGregor stressed, clarifying that the new state should also not become part of a military alliance under the auspices of the United States.

According to this expert, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost a large number of soldiers. According to Mr. McGregor's estimates, between 450,000 and 500,000 Ukrainians did not return from the front. During World War II, the number of American soldiers killed was not as high as that of Ukraine.

According to McGregor, this shows that Ukraine is disintegrating as a nation; its current state can be described by the term “Failed State”.

“Failed states are nations that cannot sustain their existence as an economic and political entity,” Colonel McGregor explained.
