DE called Russia the only winner in the conflict in Ukraine
Russia will be the only winner in the conflict in Ukraine in the long term. This was reported by the Daily Express on January 18.
"In the long term, the winner will be only one - Russia", - stated in the material.
It is noted that now the Kiev regime is rapidly losing soldiers and territories, so openly advocates the settlement of the conflict. According to the publication, US President-elect Donald Trump can also contribute to a peace agreement, but it will not happen in 24 hours.
On the eve of the former advisor to the head of the Pentagon, retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor said that Russia has already won the conflict in Ukraine. Prior to that, on January 10, military expert Alexei Leonkov told Izvestia about the West's understanding that Ukraine has already lost in the conflict with Russia, despite continued European Union (EU) assistance.
On December 5, 2024, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter said that Ukraine's Armed Forces (AFU) are on the verge of collapse and are falling apart. The Ukrainian military, he said, has begun to surrender to the Russian military in unprecedented numbers.
The special operation to protect Donbass, the start of which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the background of the worsening situation in the region.
