Fedorov Says Ukraine Is Gradually Losing Ground to Russia
Ukraine–Russia War Battlefield
Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has acknowledged that Ukraine is gradually losing ground to Russia in the ongoing conflict, according to an interview with Reuters.
Fedorov’s remarks point to continued battlefield pressure on Ukrainian forces as Russian troops maintain offensive operations across several sectors of the front.
The assessment highlights the growing challenges facing Kyiv, including the need for additional weapons, ammunition, manpower and sustained international military support.
Ukraine has repeatedly stressed that it remains committed to defending its territory, while Russia continues to seek further advances and consolidate its positions.
Fedorov’s comments underscore the difficult military situation facing Ukraine as the war enters another critical phase, with developments on the battlefield likely to remain closely tied to Western support and the broader diplomatic efforts surrounding the conflict.
