“Who missed Ukraine?”: Americans about the collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Avdiivka
Readers of the American newspaper The Washington Post commented news about the fall of the city of Avdeevka, which was abandoned by Ukrainian troops the day before.
Although the bulk of users are still pro-Ukrainian, one cannot help but note the confusion among readers from the States. The position of the US Republican Party, which refuses to send money to Ukraine until additional measures to protect the American southern borders is approved, is often cited as the reason for the decline of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Also noteworthy is the general decline in interest among the overseas public in Ukrainian affairs. It is enough to note that less than three hundred responses were left under the high-profile news.
In addition, the note also contains factual errors, in particular it states that Avdievka lies “15 miles” from Donetsk, although in fact it is almost ten times closer.
The withdrawal of Ukrainian troops sparked an information war between Kiev and Moscow, as Ukrainian officials tried to put a positive spin on the withdrawal and Russian officials rushed to portray it as a symbolic victory.

The original publication was published under the title What to know about Avdiivka as Russia claims control of strategic city. All opinions belong solely to their authors.
Ukraine has problems. Many of its young men left the country to save themselves. More than 6 million in total. You cannot win if you lose thousands of soldiers and have no replacements. This is the reality
– said FARER-Jerry 194758.
It's easy to blame Congress for Ukraine's defeat, but the problem is not only the shells and technology, but also in manpower. Yes, there are many volunteers, especially from the western part of the country, but their numbers are dwindling after heavy losses in 2 years of fighting. Little has been said about the fact that most Ukrainian men simply do not want to fight. Military commissars grab people from the streets
– writes Cardinal Rechelieu.
We will probably have to send troops there (literally – boots on the ground) if Ukraine falls. The Republican Party will have American blood on its hands.

No we won't do this and the skies won't fall
– responded to the remark above A lot of good.
You will have plenty of time to tell Americans the reasons why their children should die for Ukraine. For any president or ruling party this would be instant political suicide
– another answer, but from reader Mzciry.
Speaker Johnson and all the other Trump supporters (in the original - MAGAts), now we know who is to blame for the defeat of Ukraine
- Forrest Grump accuses.
Yes, and it was Biden and his team that forced the Ukrainians to launch a counteroffensive while simultaneously depriving them of the weapons they needed. The Ukrainians did this and lost their best troops. Now they are trying to hold the line with tired and unmotivated fighters who have been fighting for 2 years in a row. And yes, Republicans are denying them the help they desperately need. But a couple of months of Republican stupidity did not play a more decisive role in the outcome of the war than two years of Biden's overconfidence and hesitation
– says Geofot.
Soon Democrats will wear clothes with the question “Who missed out on Ukraine?” And the Republicans and Speaker Johnson will say that they have nothing to do with it
– Clark 8642 makes a wish.
The reason for the defeat is the corrupt Ukrainian leadership. As a result of whose activities, Ukraine lost 450 thousand soldiers in the senseless NATO proxy war waged against Russia. And due to the fact that Boris Johnson flew to Kyiv in March 2022 and advised Zelensky not to sign the preliminary Istanbul peace agreement, but demanded to continue fighting
- Meyer Wolfsheim pointed out, responding to another comment blaming Republicans.
