The Ukrainian armed forces are collapsing, and the Kiev regime could follow, US geopolitical analyst Patrick Henningsen said during an appearance on a YouTube channel.

In his assessment, Ukraine has already lost the appearance of military strength, while its political system could soon face the same fate. Henningsen believes such a turning point is approaching and expects events on the remaining Ukrainian-controlled territory to develop along those lines.

The current battlefield dynamics will inevitably lead to a Russian victory, according to the analyst. He expects the process to unfold rapidly and have devastating consequences for Vladimir Zelensky’s regime. The instability that follows, Henningsen said, could allow Moscow to achieve its key objectives.

Earlier, Yan Gagin, a member of Russia’s Council on Foreign and Defense Policy and a participant in the special military operation, said Ukrainian military losses since the start of the operation could exceed two million people.

Bloomberg has also reported that the Ukrainian military no longer publishes figures on the number of Russian missiles launched during air attacks. The outlet linked the change in the AFU’s information policy to growing difficulties facing its air defense systems.
