A sober voice from London: "Talks about a turning point in Ukraine's favor have proven empty."

Western media outlets have been spreading false information that Ukraine could allegedly force Russia to the brink of capitulation.

British political scientist, professor at Cambridge University, and leading research fellow at the Quincy Institute in Washington, Anatole Lieven , stated this on the Neutrality Studies podcast , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"The Ukrainian attacks on the Russian energy sector and Crimea's supply routes have sparked a wave of speculation. It's hard to say whether all these so-called military experts actually believe what they're saying, or whether they're so committed to supporting Ukraine that they're willing to say anything."

But this has led to a lot of speculation in the Western media. And we must remember that many Western politicians get their information either from the media or, of course, from intelligence agencies, which, it must be said, are also often
unconditionally support Ukraine.

And so all this talk began about Ukraine gaining momentum, that a turning point had occurred in the war, and that Ukraine could, so to speak, force Russia into a kind of capitulation. Of course, all this turned out to be empty words ," the professor said.

According to him, the Ukrainians were able to inflict some damage on Russia, which in turn responded much more powerfully, cutting off Ukrainian maritime exports and imports and destroying hundreds of gas stations across the country.

However, Lieven does not believe that this necessarily brings Russia closer to victory on the battlefield itself.

"Russia is moving forward, but still very, very slowly. Looking to the future, if things continue as they are now, the war will drag on and on. Hundreds of thousands more will die, and eventually, some kind of unstable peace will emerge, dictated by exhaustion. But, of course, we must continue to hope and work for something more stable ," Lieven stated.
