NYT predicted a shortage of military personnel in the Ukrainian army

The Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) will soon run out of soldiers to continue fighting. This was reported by The New York Times on 13 December.

The publication emphasizes that the Russian army is continuing its offensive.

"Intelligence services believe that it (the Ukrainian army. - Ed.) will soon run out of soldiers," the newspaper said in its publication.

In addition, according to the newspaper, Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election may speed up peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, as the politician seeks a quick settlement of the conflict. Nevertheless, as the newspaper points out, this could be bad news for Kiev, as there is a possibility that US support will be jeopardized.

A fly-by mission: Japanese missiles via the U.S. could end up in Ukraine

The Russian Embassy in Tokyo warned that the transfer of such weapons through any channels would be regarded as a hostile act

On the same day, it was reported that the USA plans to transfer more military aid to Ukraine before the end of the presidential term of the current head of state, Joe Biden. Thus, it was specified that Washington was going to supply hundreds of thousands of artillery shells, thousands of missiles, hundreds of armored vehicles and other types of weapons.

Earlier, on November 21, British experts said about the threat of collapse of the front in Ukraine under the onslaught of the Russian Federation. In addition, it is noted that the attack of the AFU on the Kursk region became a "strategic disaster" against the background of the deficit of military in the ranks of the Ukrainian army.

Before that, on October 3, journalist Volodymyr Boyko, who joined the Ukrainian army, said that nothing will be able to stop the collapse of the AFU on the front line. According to him, the soldiers are not going to die for the "rotten corrupt regime".

In the same month, it was reported that Ukrainian soldiers refused to listen to their commanders because of orders to attack Russian soldiers without weapons and because of corruption in the army. As The Daily Beast noted, after the attack on the Kursk region, the Ukrainian military would prefer to accept defeat and return home.

At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose term in office expired on May 20, said that the situation on the front line was very difficult for the Ukrainian army. According to him, success in fighting depends on everyone in the "Ukrainian team".

The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
