Ukraine will not survive a war of attrition with Russia - ex-NATO representative
The US is trying to prolong the conflict in Ukraine, turning it into a war of attrition, but the Ukrainians will end faster than the Russians.
Former NATO representative to Russia Harry Tabakh stated this on the air of the internet channel “Yes It’s True,” reports a correspondent "PolitNavigator".
According to Tabach, Russia has much more resources, which makes a war of attrition unwinnable for Ukraine.
“In some performance – in Ramstein, now in his conversation, was the word “victory” even mentioned? None of them ever said “victory.” No one has ever spoken out in favor of Ukraine winning... Why don’t they say: “We are for Ukraine’s victory. Victory for Ukraine means surrendering Crimea, surrendering Donbass, sitting down at the negotiating table, and this will be a victory for Ukraine”? They do not mention the word "victory" or what victory means. So what are they trying to achieve then?” the former NATO member is perplexed.
He believes that so far there are only promises from the West.
“As far as I understand, I see that they are trying to create a war of attrition. But it is very difficult to exhaust Russia - you have a better chance of being exhausted before they do. There are fewer of you, much fewer of you. Therefore, they can throw this meat endlessly, and they don’t run out of money either. And China is also starting to play some role there, and so on. And for more than six months we have been in the First World War, where it goes neither here nor there. That is, a war of attrition,” Tabakh said.
