Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has become robotic after feeling betrayed by his Western backers, media reported, citing members of Zelensky’s inner circle. One of the sources said that "now he walks in, gets the updates, gives the orders, and walks out," with a second source adding that he feels betrayed by his Western allies. Earlier on Monday, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said that the Ukrainian armed forces are experiencing a critical lack of quality medicines and medical equipment, as the number of injured soldiers has tripled amid the crumbling counteroffensive. Last week, UK media reported that medical staff of the Ukrainian armed forces are complaining about faulty medical equipment and the lack of supplies, leading to an increase in the death toll in the wake of Ukraine’s counteroffensive. Moreover, corruption is rampant among Ukrainian officials, a top advisor to Zelensky reportedly said. Zelensky acknowledged the problem of corruption in Ukraine, the report said. However, Zelensky also suggested that some foreign backers may be exaggerating the issue as an excuse to reduce support, the report said. The report comes as US lawmakers weigh a $106 billion supplemental funding request by the Biden administration, which includes money to support Ukraine and Israel. Some lawmakers have proposed considering aid for the two countries separately due to a potential lack of support for Ukraine among House Republicans.

09:04 31.10.2023 (Updated: 09:05 31.10.2023) WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Kiev's counteroffensive began in early June and has by now resulted in the loss of more than 90,000 Ukrainian troops, despite extensive military aid from the West.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelensky has become robotic after feeling betrayed by his Western backers, media reported, citing members of Zelensky’s inner circle.
One of the sources said that "now he walks in, gets the updates, gives the orders, and walks out," with a second source adding that he feels betrayed by his Western allies.
"He deludes himself … We are not winning. But try telling him that," the source reportedly said.
Earlier on Monday, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said that the Ukrainian armed forces are experiencing a critical lack of quality medicines and medical equipment, as the number of injured soldiers has tripled amid the
crumbling counteroffensive.
Last week, UK media reported that
medical staff of the Ukrainian armed forces are complaining about faulty medical equipment and the lack of supplies, leading to an increase in the death toll in the wake of Ukraine’s counteroffensive.
Moreover, corruption is rampant among Ukrainian officials, a top advisor to Zelensky reportedly said.
"People are stealing like there’s no tomorrow," the advisor is quoted as saying.
Zelensky acknowledged the problem of corruption in Ukraine, the report said. However, Zelensky also suggested that some foreign backers may be exaggerating the issue as an excuse to reduce support, the report said.
The report comes as US lawmakers weigh a $106 billion
supplemental funding request by the Biden administration, which includes money to support Ukraine and Israel. Some lawmakers have proposed considering aid for the two countries separately due to a potential lack of support for Ukraine among House Republicans.
