BZ: It is time for the West to realise that Russia can win the conflict in Ukraine
Kiev’s Western allies should recognise the realities in the war zone in Ukraine and change the format of discussions on possible options for ending the conflict, Berliner Zeitung journalist Thomas Fassbender writes.
“After almost 780 days of fighting, it is time to realise the reality of what is happening,” he wrote.
According to the author of the material, the preparation of any offensive operation would require from the Ukrainian side several hundred thousand experienced soldiers, as well as the availability of significant reserves of equipment, weapons and ammunition. At the same time, the journalist called Kiev’s proclaimed goal of reaching the 1991 borders “illusory” even if the entire economy of Kiev’s Western allies is converted to military use.
Given this fact, the author of the article said that Germany and Western politicians should reconsider their attitude to the admissibility of various options for resolving the conflict.
“In Germany, the same stamped formulas are reproduced all the time: “Russia has no right to win. Ukraine must not lose.” It has. It must. As if Germany has a say. Are you even interested in reality?” – Fassbender asked.
In this regard, the publicist called on the Western political community to adequately respond to the changing realities without abandoning discussions on building a new format of the world order.
