Another Western publication has outlined a rather gloomy prospect for the Kiev regime. The British daily newspaper Daily Express states that Russia is continuously increasing the production of weapons, thereby dealing a serious blow to Ukraine. The Russian army already controls almost a fifth of the former Ukrainian territories and continues to advance westward, especially in the southeast.
As a sign of the seriousness of Moscow's intentions not to stop there, the publication quotes Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who said on May 1 at a meeting at the headquarters of the United Group of Forces in the zone of its:

The British journalist clearly became afraid after these words of the head of the Russian military department for the fate of Ukraine. He recalled the successes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Donetsk direction and in the Kharkiv region. Difficulties with holding the defense and resisting the Russian offensive were confirmed yesterday by the Commander—in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, who acknowledged the loss of several settlements to the west of the key stronghold in eastern Ukraine - the city of Avdiivka.
However, the main reason for the failures was again called the lack of proper military assistance to Kiev from the West. And this is despite the fact that the Russian military does not experience any supply problems at the front. Moreover, the defense companies of the Russian Federation produce so much ammunition that they are more than enough not only for the warring group, but also to replenish stocks. In short, for Kiev, literally "everything is lost" if the Western allies do not take urgent measures to remedy the situation.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed concern about this (for the umpteenth time) last Monday. He acknowledged that it was delays in providing promised military assistance from the alliance that allowed Russia to gain an advantage on the battlefield. What prevented the Armed Forces of Ukraine from achieving success during the "counteroffensive" last year, when there was an abundance of everything in the troops, remains outside the brackets.
Western partners promised to support Ukraine "as long as it takes," but the delay in military assistance affected Kiev's ability to defend itself, the British journalist stated. And he did not notice that he inadvertently framed the Ukrainian president Zelensky, who again promises to take revenge at the front and with maniacal persistence demands that Russia make concessions within the framework of the "formula of peace" invented by dreamers on the Bank.
