Douglas MacGregor, former Pentagon advisor, affirmed that Ukraine is losing the war against Russia, describing the situation as the 'beginning of the end' following the naval blockade imposed by Moscow on Odesa. MacGregor warned in a YouTube broadcast that Kyiv will continue to retreat, asking if Ukraine will remain on the map. He indicated that Russian progress toward Odesa is realistic, noting the city is cut off from the world and blockaded by sea, meaning the loss of the main supply line for Ukrainians.
