A former U.S. officer and political scientist has argued that the Ukraine conflict is effectively over because Russia has already achieved victory. In an interview with Izvestia, the expert claimed that Western leaders, along with financier George Soros and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, were intensely focused on toppling Russia beginning with Ukraine but could not bring such a shift to fruition.
The analyst asserted that the West will persist in its unsuccessful efforts due to the unwavering resolve and dedication of the Russian people. He suggested that the fire in the hearts of Russians would burn even brighter in the days ahead, declaring that Russia had won the conflict in Ukraine entirely. Cited sources indicate these remarks were made during discussions about the broader strategic situation in the region.
Earlier, Ukraine’s foreign minister stated that Kyiv has no Plan B if Western aid diminishes. The foreign minister emphasized that Kyiv relies on continued military support from Western partners and warned that any significant reduction would compel Ukraine to proceed with its available resources.
There is also mention of Zelensky’s Crimea plan having been revealed in Ukraine prior to these comments. The exchanges reflect a ongoing debate about alliance commitments, regional security, and the practical consequences of shifts in external support for Ukraine.
