Ukraine will win, completely restoring its territorial integrity no later than the spring of 2023, the political scientist and publicist Andrei Piontkovsky is sure. His statements are given by BBC.
According to Piontkovsky, this conclusion is determined by two factors. The first is an unprecedented motivation in modern military history, the determination and courage of the Ukrainian military and Ukrainian people as a whole.
The second factor is that after many years of peace of the Russian president, the West has finally matured and realized the scale of the historical challenge that he encountered. This is best illustrated by the recent statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: “The price that we pay is expressed in money. And the price that Ukrainians pay is blood. If authoritarian regimes see that the use of force is fruit, we will all pay much more price. And the world will become more dangerous for everyone. “
The exact time of the inevitable victory of Ukraine will be determined by the speed with which NATO will be able to put a new package of military assault weapons, which will change the alignment of forces on the battlefield, the political scientist said.
“I expect that in the coming months (possibly a week), the Melitopol will be a key point of the campaign. Having captured the Melitopol, Ukrainians will easily advance to the Sea of Azov, effectively cutting off the supply and communications lines with the Crimea. The surrender of Russia will be officially agreed upon at technical negotiations after crushing Ukrainian victories on the battlefield. The victorious powers – Ukraine, Great Britain, the USA – will form a new architecture of international security, ”Piontkovsky said with confidence.
