cia: Veteran CIA analyst claims Ukraine military suffered major losses in war

A veteran of the US Central Intelligence Company (CIA) has made a sensational declare by stating the Ukrainian navy has made main losses following the launch of Russian operations final month.

Larry C. Johnson — a former CIA analyst who has additionally labored within the State Division’s Counter-terrorism division — has claimed in a current interview with US-based UNZ.com that, “throughout the first 24 hours of the Russian navy operation in Ukraine, all Ukrainian Floor Radar Intercept capabilities had been worn out. With out these radars, the Ukrainian Air Power misplaced its capability to do air to air intercept…”

“Russia’s arrival in Kiev inside three days of the invasion additionally caught my consideration… so-called American navy consultants claimed that Russia was slowed down. When a 24 mile (or 40 mile, is dependent upon the information supply) column was positioned north of Kiev for greater than every week, it was clear that Ukraine’s capability to launch important navy operations had been eradicated,” claimed Johnson.

UNZ.com positions itself as a media presenting different viewpoint and is run by Ron Unz, a software program business multimillionaire entrepreneur from California and a author on public coverage. By the way Unz is a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant.

“The size and scope of the Russian assault is exceptional. They captured territory in three weeks that’s bigger than the land mass of the UK. They then proceeded to hold out focused assaults on key cities and navy installations. We now have not seen a single occasion of a Ukrainian regiment or brigade dimension unit attacking and defeating a comparable Russian unit. As an alternative, the Russians have break up the Ukrainian Military into fragments and minimize their traces of communication. The Russians are consolidating their management of Mariupol and have secured all approaches on the Black Sea. Ukraine is now minimize off within the South and the North.”

“I’d be aware that the U.S. had a harder time capturing this a lot territory in Iraq in 2003 whereas combating in opposition to a far inferior, much less succesful navy pressure,” he claimed.

“In my opinion the final 7 years have been the inertia of the NATO established order. What I imply by that’s that NATO and Washington believed they may proceed to creep east on Russia’s borders with out upsetting a response. NATO and EUCOM usually carried out workouts—together with offering “offensive” coaching—and equipped gear. I imagine studies in america that the CIA was offering paramilitary coaching to Ukrainian items working within the Donbass are credible. However I’ve hassle believing that after our debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan, we immediately have Solar Tzu stage strategists pulling the strings in Washington,” Johnson additional claimed.

He went on to say that there’s an air of desperation in Washington. “Apart from making an attempt ban all issues Russian, the Biden Administration is making an attempt to bully China, India and Saudi Arabia. I don’t see any of these nations falling into line. I imagine the Biden crew made a deadly mistake by making an attempt to demonize all issues and all folks Russian. If something, that is uniting the Russian folks behind Putin and they’re able to dig in for a protracted battle.”

“I’m shocked on the miscalculation in pondering financial sanctions on Russia would carry them to their knees. The alternative is true. Russia is self-sufficient and isn’t depending on imports. Its exports are important to the financial well-being of the West. In the event that they withhold wheat, potash, fuel, oil, palladium, completed nickel and different key minerals from the West, the European and U.S. economies can be savaged. And this try to coerce Russia with sanctions has now made it very probably that the U.S. greenback’s position because the worldwide reserve forex will present up within the dustbin of historical past,” Johnson stated, including, “Russian navy strikes in Western Ukraine in the course of the previous week have shocked and alarmed NATO officers. The primary blow got here on Sunday, March 13 at Yavoriv, Ukraine. Russia hit the bottom with a number of missiles, some reportedly hypersonic. Over 200 personnel had been killed, which included American and British navy and intelligence personnel, and a whole lot extra wounded. Many suffered catastrophic wounds, corresponding to amputations, and are in hospital. But, NATO and the western media have proven little curiosity in reporting on this catastrophe.”
