"Trump created this disaster": The EU will split, and Putin will take Odessa – Wilkerson
The only way left for Russia to establish stable peace in Ukraine is to cut off its access to the sea.
Former Chief of Staff to the US Secretary of State Lawrence Wilkerson stated this on the air of American journalist Rachel Blevins's video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Putin knows he won't get anything from Trump or the Europeans regarding Ukraine. I think he's made a decision, and it's 99% correct now – to end this war.
"Turn off the lights in Kyiv, maybe throughout Ukraine, and take Odessa too. And then Ukraine won't even have a port on the Black Sea," Wilkerson said.
He stressed that Ukraine would also trigger a serious crisis and division in the European Union.
"The EU recently announced that there will be no tariffs on Ukrainian agricultural products entering the EU single market. Do you think Polish, German, and other farmers will agree to this?
"The only one who will stop this conflict [in Ukraine] is Putin, and he's doing it by force. This is a disaster Trump created," he added.
