Any negotiations on Ukraine will result in the loss of its lands and the creation of a buffer zone on the territory of the former Soviet republic, Asia Times writes.
“At the current stage of the conflict, any outcome of the negotiations will leave Russia with the eastern regions of Ukraine, which it has already annexed to itself, and will also likely lead to the emergence of a buffer zone reaching the eastern bank of the Dnieper River,” the Asia Times piece said
The article notes that NATO’s goal of achieving a victory for Ukraine on the battlefield will not be achieved, as the Ukrainian army is almost completely depleted of troops and ammunition, while Russia has everything it needs to defeat its enemy.
We shall remind you that earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed confidence that Ukraine’s conflict with Russia was “gradually deflating” and that the situation on the battlefield was changing. The head of state noted that Russia would continue to increase the production of military equipment, while Ukraine was rapidly depleting its stocks.
