Why Putin failed to achieve his goal in Ukraine and what awaits us in winter

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, having unleashed a war against Ukraine, pursued two goals – to destroy Ukrainian statehood and blow up the support of the West. But the Kremlin dictator could not achieve this.

The Russian army is in a difficult situation, – British politician

The corresponding opinion in an interview with Channel 24Edward Lucas, a British journalist, politician, and an expert on modern Russia, expressed his opinion. According to him, he wanted to turn Ukraine into a failed state.

“To cause you long-term political, psychological, economic, social tension. So that Ukraine could not compete with his project of the” Russian world, “said the British politician .

Also, as Edward Lucas noted, the Russian leader wanted to break the West's support for Ukraine. The British politician is convinced that the paths have not reached their goal. One of the reasons was logistical problems.

And I think he failed to achieve both goals. Ukraine demonstrates outstanding resilience. Your army begins to counterattack, and the Russian is in a very difficult position. In particular, and because of problems with logistics. All this can lead to circumstances where the Russians will begin to retreat in a disorganized manner and ask for negotiations. Lucas said.

The danger may arise from the other side

The British politician said security could come soon as “a very tough winter” lies ahead. According to Lucas, the economic crisis may prevent the West from supporting Ukraine.

“And the pace of the economic crisis may prevent the West from supporting the Ukrainian economy and defense. This is a war of attrition, where a big country has a certain advantage over a smaller one. I remain cautious optimist, because I see that there are circumstances in which the situation can worsen,” he said. .

Lukas is convinced that Europe will not leave Ukraine. However, there are many challenges ahead for the Western countries.

We are facing significant economic stress due to inflation and changing sources of gas supplies. Ahead of the decline in GDP, the curtailment of production will need to support small businesses and households. So we will be poorer and more in debt. However, Europe is a very rich place on the world map, so we will withstand this blow, Lucas concluded.
