Legendary Russian chess champion and Kremlin critic says Putin's 'war is lost' in Ukraine but that won't stop him

Kasparov said that Putin has lost his war in Ukraine.

In an interview with the Kyiv Post published on Monday, Kasparov said that he's encouraged by the success of the counteroffensive, but warned that losing won't force Putin to stop the war.

The war is no longer going on. According to Kasparov, all of the objectives were failed. "Continuing the war is the only way for Putin to stay in power and to create chaos in the world, hoping that winter could offer him new opportunities." It's an attempt to distract from the pain.

Thousands and thousands of people, both in the frontline and innocent civilians, will be put into graves in the months to come because of Putin's desperate attempts to stay afloat.

Over the past two weeks, Ukrainian forces have launched counter-offensives in the country's northeast and south as they attempt to regain territory they lost to the Russians.

Russia's troops were almost pushed out of the northern Kharkiv region, home to the country's second- largest city. The General Staff of the armed forces of Ukraine said on Monday that it was forcing Russian troops to abandon their positions and flee.

Russian troops are wearing civilian clothes to escape.

Russia has been forced to withdraw troops from a large portion of the Kharkiv region, and many of its soldiers are being forced into emergency defensive actions, according to a Monday statement from Britain's defense ministry.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that since the beginning of September, his country has regained 1,250 square miles of territory.

The Russian army is showing its true colors. It's a good choice for them to flee. Zelenskyy said that there is no place for the occupiers inUkraine.
