"They're panicking." The West sounded the alarm after Syrsky's statement

The words of the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky speak of a growing crisis in the ranks of the Ukrainian military, British expert Alexander Merkouris suggested in his blog on YouTube.

“Syrsky is now publicly saying that the situation on the front line is becoming more and more difficult. He says that Ukrainians are under very strong pressure. He is obviously choosing his words carefully, but one senses that he is also acknowledging that an operational crisis is developing,” he said.

According to the expert, one way or another one can observe the big problems faced by the Ukrainian military. He explained that signs of panic in the Ukrainian Armed Forces are beginning to appear.

Earlier on Tuesday, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that since the start of the special military operation, Ukrainian troops have lost almost 500,000 people. He emphasized that Russian units now have the initiative along the entire line of combat contact and continue to push out the enemy. Shoigu recalled that the military liberated Pervomaiskoye, Bogdanovka and Novomikhailovka in the DPR, and are expanding the zone of control in Berdychi and Georgievka.
