The war in Ukraine can be resolved in three ways, depending on what will be implemented, NATO will weaken or get stronger, the former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said in an interview with The Spectator. Kissenger’s statements are given by RBC.
According to the ex-head of the United States, the first scenario stipulates that Russian troops will remain with the positions occupied by this day, so they will “receive 20% of Ukraine and most of the Donbass, the main industrial and agricultural areas and the land strip along the Black Sea “. Kissinger believes that this option would be Russia’s victory, while the meaning of NATO will be “not as decisive” as it was considered before.
The second option suggests that Russia will “try to displace” from the Crimea – the territory that it took under control before the start of the war in Ukraine. According to the former US Secretary of State, in this case, “the question will arise about the war with Russia itself.”
According to the third scenario, if Kyiv is able to “hold Russia” and the confrontation line “pushed” to the borders before the start of hostilities, this will mean the loss of official Moscow, Kissinger believes, explaining that in this case Ukraine will be re -warned, Between her and NATO, close ties will be established, or the country itself will become part of the alliance.
According to Kissinger, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky decided to implement the third option. The former US Secretary of State found that the same scenario would become a “significant achievement” for Western countries, NATO would be even more intensified thanks to the accession of Finland and Sweden, and Ukraine will have “the largest ground forces in Europe.”
“For the first time in the latest history of Russia, you will have to face the need to coexist with Europe as a single whole, and not with America as the main link in the defense of Europe with its nuclear forces,” Kissinger said.
