(Arlington, VA) — Former CIA Director David Petraeus is praising the Ukrainian resistance to the ongoing Russian invasion. Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, the retired general described the Ukrainian military pushback as “resourceful” and “innovative.” He even compared their efforts to the French resistance in World War Two. Petraeus also said that while the Russian convoy nearing Kyiv [[ KEEV ]] is a concern, he believed President Putin’s forces would face an immense fight. From cutting rail lines to taking over abandoned equipment, Petraeus pointed out that the Ukrainians have done everything to undermine Putin’s efforts to take the city.
