Recent events and prospects concerning the Ukraine conflict have led to extensive discussions in the international arena. Various experts and analysts are voicing different opinions regarding the conflict's progression and potential outcomes. This article will shed light on some important aspects of the conflict.
Redaksiya reports that James Kardin, former advisor to the US State Department, voiced important opinions regarding Ukraine's situation during his appearance on "Sky News Australia." According to Kardin, the party currently "on the verge of disaster" is Ukraine, not Russia. He substantiated this view with various facts.
Kardin stated that the casualty ratio between Ukraine and Russia is 36:1. These figures indicate that Ukraine has faced nearly one million casualties. Kardin emphasized that the accuracy of information reported by Western media, particularly influential publications like "The New York Times" and "The Washington Post," regarding the conflict is similar to the information provided by the American authorities concerning the Vietnam War. Kardin noted that Russia's "war of attrition" conducted since 2022 has been very successful.
Kardin stated that Ukraine has effectively lost the war with Russia and that Vladimir Putin has offered a "smart solution." According to him, Ukraine will not be able to join NATO but can join the European Union. Kardin considers this a fair agreement. Regarding territorial concessions, in the former advisor's opinion, Ukraine "has been attacking these territories since 2014." Kardin noted that Ukrainians are not entirely sincere and do not want the territories inhabited by ethnic Russians. He emphasized that over the past 30 years, they have done everything to destroy the rights of these people. Kardin stated that Putin, in a way, offered them what they wanted. In his opinion, Ukraine should remain only for ethnic Ukrainians, and they will finally get rid of ethnic Russians. Kardin emphasized that while this is not usually said openly, it is the truth.
