Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot win the war against Ukraine. However, he cannot find a way out of it.

At the same time, Putin wanted to take Kyiv “by bluff.” This was stated by British Defense Minister Grant Shapps.

Putin cannot win the war

According to Shapps, Putin hoped to take Kiev “by bluff” but the Ukrainian people will not allow this to happen.

And we won't allow it either. We must not retreat, the minister said.

He stressed that war consumes weapons and people at a terrifying rate, but we must remain steadfast. In addition, Shapps called Ukraine “part of the family of European democratic nations.”

Putin has lost control of the war

Recall that recently the Chief of the British Defense Staff Admiral Tony Radakin said that Russia had lost control of the war that it had started. And Ukraine is holding the initiative in the fighting.

“The recent strikes on the Black Sea Fleet are another example of how Ukraine is holding the initiative. Putin has lost control of the war he started,” he said.

During his visit to Kiev, he said, he discussed the new military aid commitments made at Ramstein.

“This visit, together with my visits in the summer, strengthened my conviction that Ukraine will win. Britain will stay with her every step of the way,” Radakin emphasized.
