American Analyst: Russia Wants Victory, and No One Can Stop It
Scott Ritter, a former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer, commented on Russian President Putin's latest speech, stating that Russia is "in a position of advantage" in the conflict in Ukraine, and "there are no foreseeable factors that can change this outcome."
Ritter pointed out while assessing the situation:
The Russian army "continues to be dominant along the entire contact line."
The EU and NATO "commitments to provide more weapons to Ukraine are almost empty promises," as this military equipment cannot change the battlefield situation.
The air defense systems provided by the West have failed to prevent Russian strikes on targets within Ukraine.
The West had tried to use Ukraine as a weapon against Russia, effectively imposing this conflict on Russia. Now, "Russia wants victory."
