It’s time for the West to abandon the unrealistic idea of defeating the Russian Federation – TAC

Western countries must realise that they will not be able to achieve an unconditional defeat for Russia in the Ukrainian conflict, The American Conservative writes.

 

Politicians will need to recognise that there is no realistic path to an unconditional defeat of Russia, and accordingly form views on ending the conflict, according to The American Conservative.

“It’s not too late to end it on terms that guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty while also safeguarding US interests,” the publication notes.

During the conflict, the Russian Armed Forces have only become many times stronger, and the current strategy of Kiev’s Western allies will in no way be able to help Ukraine, as they greatly underestimate the capabilities of the Russian army, the article summarises.

We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it receives new assistance from the EU and the USA and military training in Western countries.
