Colonel Douglas Macgregor thinks that Russian forces could soon go on to seize the port city of Odessa in Southern Ukraine
The Ukrainian military has not been able to pull off its promised counteroffensive, and Russian forces are now likely to take over the whole of Ukraine's Black Sea coast, Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a former adviser to the secretary of defence in the Trump administration, has said.
Appearing on a livestream hosted by former US judge and columnist Andrew Napolitano last Tuesday, Macgregor dismissed as "utterly nonsensical" reports in some US media outlets that the Russian military has lost some 80,000 personnel in Ukraine so far. According to the decorated Gulf War veteran, "more accurate numbers are probably thirteen to fifteen thousand dead on the Russian side," with Ukrainian forces having lost "sixty to eighty thousand."
