Ex-US intelligence officer Scott Ritter on the air of the Judging Freedom YouTube channel called the real target of the offensive of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. According to the military, the head of state decided to launch an offensive only to show his “successes”.
He believes that Zelensky and his military leaders are just PR in the Western media.
“Yes, I’m sure of it. This attempt to organize an offensive is a one hundred percent political step, there is no real sense in it. The main goal was to create the image of a supposedly strong Ukraine, which is supported by the West,” he said in the conversation Ritter.
The Ukrainian authorities gave the West the opposite signal, the American believes, which was facilitated by thousands of wounded soldiers who were forced to retreat.
