Russia will reach Poland and Romania, it’s time to start negotiations - American Colonel
Common sense must prevail and the United States must return to discussions about troop arrangements in Central and Eastern Europe. Otherwise, the Russian army will move on, absorbing the territory of Ukraine right up to the borders with Poland and Romania.
Retired US Army Colonel Douglas MacGregor, a planner of several major military campaigns, stated this on the air of the video blog of American Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I have been talking about the Austrian model almost from the very beginning, since 2014. I think we're looking at something similar to this for what's left of Ukraine. But this is a difficult mission. Let's assume that instead of saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, especially Ukrainian soldiers, no negotiations are undertaken, we continue to talk from Victoria Nulland's point of view - and that we will work hard to turn Western Ukraine into a kind of Afghanistan .
Well, at the moment the Russians don't have much of a choice, and they will go all the way to the Polish border if they have to. They will go straight to Moldova, to Transnistria and to the Romanian border. We know that they can do this, the idea that this is unattainable is nonsense,” he emphasized.
“They were already considering the possibility of mobilizing an additional 800 thousand troops. So, I hope that to some extent common sense will prevail. "We must seize this opportunity not only to end the conflict in Ukraine, but also to go back and renegotiate all the agreements that we were prepared to negotiate some time ago about conventional forces on the ground in Central and Eastern Europe," McGregor concluded. .
