The UK warns that summits, conferences and speeches of concern may not help.
According to him, the reason for the defeat may be that “Ukraine will feel the impossibility of victory” . “If it comes down to it, why would people want to fight and die to protect something that cannot be protected?” – asks the general.
However, this point has not yet been passed, even though the military is experiencing a critical shortage of ammunition, personnel and air defense equipment.
“At some point in the summer we expect a great Russian offensive to break through the Ukrainian defense line. If this happens, there is a risk that the Russians will find themselves on Ukrainian soil, where the Ukrainian armed forces will not be able to stop them,” he said Barrons.
However, the general's forecast is more optimistic: “It is most likely that the Russians will have territorial assets, but they will not be able to make a breakthrough.”
BBC journalists believe that one thing is certain: Vladimir Putin is not going to stop. He is “like a poker player who has put all his chips on winning and hopes that the West will not be able to give Ukraine everything it needs to defend itself. And despite all the NATO summits, conferences and concerned speeches, he may be right.”
