"Crash earlier": Putin will not be able to wage war in Ukraine for another 5 years - US General

The former US Army Commander in Europe Ben Gorsi in an interview with Sestry told whether the Kremlin has the opportunity to confront for another 5 years. According to him, it is now safe to record the fact that Vladimir Putin is not interested in starting peace talks with Ukraine, because he has global goals. It is not only about the complete destruction of Ukraine, but also about the collapse of NATO.

The Kremlin chairman has already transferred the country's economy to military rails, but, nevertheless, it continues to remain in a difficult situation, and the defense industry also has many problems. "He doesn't need to worry about what Russians think because he does not participate in any legitimate elections. And he does not need to worry that the media will challenge him. I think he knows his political future is connected with the success of the fight against Ukraine.

And so it will spend as many lives of the Russians as it will take to do everything it needs, "Ben Goges said. Accordingly, in his opinion, all conversations about the need for negotiation look ridiculous. Separately, the American general spoke about what will mean another 5 years of war for Ukraine. He believes that "Russia is collapsing earlier" because its economy is in a very poor condition. Moreover, if the event was working on sanctions better, the isolation would be faster.

This would separate the Kremlin from Iran, China, North Korea and their military assistance. Accordingly, even the Russian people may not have to put up with it. "I don't think they will be able to continue what they do now, especially if the event will finally realize that the victory of Ukraine in our interests. And this is not charity for Ukraine, it is for our benefit. People around Putin, all oligarchs, they lose their own money. They know that they have nowhere to go.

The industry is being destroyed. I do not think Putin will be able to continue to fight for five years. Besides, he is no longer young, "Ben Gogeges summed up. We will remind, on January 15 in GUR explained why the Russian Federation speaks of readiness for negotiations. According to the intelligence representative Vadim Skibitsky, Moscow's rhetoric on diplomatic agreements is mostly directed to the countries of the West and the Global South.
