The West wants to continue the war for another 3-5 years – Bortnik
The Western bloc countries are completely satisfied with the continuation of the war on Ukrainian territory, since it allegedly strategically weakens Russia.
Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik stated this on air on the Politeka video blog, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Do you understand how the West looks at this [the terrorist attacks carried out by Kiev]? They see that the Ukrainians blew up a bridge, that the Ukrainians destroyed a significant part of the Russian air force, and now they are attacking strategic forces.
Well, the war will last for another 3-5 years, and even if Russia approaches the Dnieper, reaches the Dnieper River, by that time its strategic aviation will either be destroyed, damaged, or simply depreciated from such intensive use in this war.
“Russia will lose most of its main aviation, the bulk of its human resources , accumulated Soviet resources, armored vehicles, weapons, and everything else,” Bortnik believes.
“It may reach the Dnieper in 3-5 years, so to speak, but it will be so exhausted that it will not have the strength to cross the Dnieper for decades, unless an internal collapse occurs.
And this is what I am illustrating to you, the approach that Western security advisers take.
Therefore, this course of the war, unless there's a threat of nuclear war or the war spreading to other regions, suits many in the West. "In this war, Ukraine is certainly losing tactically, but Russia is losing strategically ," Bortnik reasoned, unclear why he assumed Russia would tolerate terrorist attacks for three years.
