Professor Glenn Diesen of the University of South-Eastern Norway said that the countries of the Collective West have run out of tools to influence Russia within the framework of the Ukrainian conflict settlement.
‘I don’t think we can continue to put pressure on Russia. I think we have no cards left to play. Where is the leverage? I don’t see one,’ Glenn Diesen said during an interview with American journalist Jackson Hinkle.
At the same time, the Southeast Norwegian University professor emphasised that Russian Federation is ‘gaining momentum’ with every cycle and will never give up its declared position, no matter how much the countries of the Collective West seek to threaten Moscow.
‘We fought for three years and lost. Our position is weakening, so I don’t see that the statement that we can play hardball corresponds to reality’, he stated.
We shall remind you that Russian Federation is open to realistic peace initiatives to resolve the Ukrainian crisis.
