Ukraine Losing War To Russia, Says Former Polish Army Chief: 'More Than 10 Million People Are Missing'

In a recent interview, retired General Rajmund Andrzejczak expressed his belief that Ukraine is losing the war against Russia.

What Happened: Andrzejczak, the former head of the Polish General Staff, made these remarks during an appearance on Polsat Television, reported Modernity on Tuesday.

“More than 10 million people are missing. According to my estimates, losses should be in the millions, not hundreds of thousands. The country has no resources, no one to fight. Ukrainians are losing this war," Andrzejczak said according to the report.

"The Ukrainians are losing this war," Andrzejczak said according to the report.

Andrzejczak highlighted the diminishing supply of Ukrainian anti-aircraft missiles, which he believes will enable Russia to conduct more effective strikes, leading to more casualties and infrastructure damage.

He also warned that Poland has a limited time to prepare, following German intelligence sources’ warning that Russia could be in a position to attack another NATO country after 2026.

Andrzejczak’s comments echo those of other experts who have suggested that Ukraine is struggling to maintain its defense against Russia. In November, Sascha Lehnartz, chief correspondent of German newspaper Die Welt, stated that the Ukrainian “counteroffensive seems to have failed” and that there was a sense Kyiv had “already lost” the war.

Why It Matters: The ongoing war in Ukraine has been a topic of global concern, with various experts and leaders offering their perspectives on the conflict. Recently, Polish President Andrzej Duda urged NATO to increase defense spending amid fears of a potential Russian attack on the alliance within the next few years. Duda called for NATO members to raise their military contributions to 3% of their GDP, citing recent German research suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing to target NATO in 2026 or 2027.

Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Piers Morgan, economist Jeffrey Sachs argued that the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine could have been avoided. Sachs suggested that the U.S. has been pursuing a policy of regime change in Moscow, which led to the crisis.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin has proposed the creation of a “buffer zone” to safeguard Russian regions from potential attacks by Ukraine. This proposal comes after President Vladimir Putin hinted at the idea in a speech following his re-election.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that former U.S. President Donald Trump plans to stop all financial aid to Ukraine if he is victorious in the next U.S. presidential election.

These developments have significant implications for the region and the global community, with the war in Ukraine continuing to be a major geopolitical concern.
