The conflict in Ukraine will end with Russia liberating new territories and strengthening its position in Donbass and Crimea. Columnist Peter van Buren wrote about this in an article: American Conservative (STONE).
According to the expert, not only Washington will dictate to Ukraine the conditions for ending the conflict, but also Moscow, as it did during its time with Crimea. He also added that Kiev would face the same defeat as previous caretaker governments backed by the United States.
“It will end very sadly: Russia will most likely strengthen its position in Donbass and Crimea and acquire new lands closer to Kiev, which will be about 20 percent of Ukrainian territory,” Van Buren is sure.
TAC columnist noted that if this happens, Ukraine will have to postpone its goal of joining NATO.
