President Zelensky sends distress signal to NATO

Journalist Howard Altman of The War Zone column said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sent a distress signal to NATO, because Russia had defeated the advancing forces of the Ukrainian army.

“Despite NATO supplying billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine, and training its troops at US and NATO training camps, progress in the counter-offensive has been modest. Now Kiev is changing tactics,” journalist Howard Altman shared.

According to the journalist, the sharp change in plans of the Armed Forces Command of Ukraine is a clear signal to the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that the dream of a large-scale attack on Russia has failed.

Now, Ukrainian generals will abandon attempts to move through minefields, or try to break through Russian lines, and switch to position-by-position artillery tactics.

Meanwhile, former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter said the Russian army will destroy strategic military targets in Kiev if the Ukrainian leadership continues its terrorist attacks.

According to Mr. Ritter, the capital of Ukraine will lose important energy infrastructure, and other “brain” facilities, just because of President Zelensky's “short-sighted policies.”

Earlier, in a report by Ria Novosti, President Zelensky affirmed that Ukraine lacks Western assistance. The Ukrainian leader said that as long as the conflict with Russia continues, any aid from the West is not enough./.
