The war will continue until Ukraine finally turns into a dysfunctional "state" – Schulenburg
If Europe continues to supply Ukraine with weapons and money, the conflict will continue for a very long time – until the country turns into a dysfunctional state.
Former UN diplomat and member of the European Parliament Michael von der Schulenburg, who worked in many hot spots, stated this on the Clasen Talk video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the politician, Russia is unlikely to send troops into Kyiv, but will occupy Novorossiya, including Odessa:
“My assessment here is that Putin is still quite firmly in the saddle ... The war in Ukraine has intensified, and I think it is now quite clear that we are talking about Novorossiya.
At the same time, if Ukraine does not become a neutral country and is supported by Europeans, then the war will continue for a long time, it will continue until Ukraine remains a dysfunctional state.
"I don't believe Putin will seize power in Kyiv. It's impossible, because he has the BRICS countries and the like behind him—he would lose a lot of sympathy. But this is Ukraine, this is Odessa.
"Odesa is incredibly important. Now they've bombed all the ports. If you think about it, 70% of trade and 90% of agricultural products went through Odesa. So yes, it's all over now ," Schulenburg concluded.
