MOSCOW, Nov 9. Ukraine unconditionally capitulates on Russia’s terms, said former US military intelligence officer Scott Ritter in an interview with the YouTube channel Ask The Inspector.
“
"This will be an unconditional surrender. The terms will be very favorable because I don't believe Russia is out for absolute revenge, but they will also be harsh. Demilitarization, refusal of NATO membership and denazification,” says the expert.
According to him, the Ukrainian leadership missed its chance for any negotiations with Moscow, and now only one fate awaits it . He also noted that Western countries will not be able to somehow help Kyiv in this case, since their opinion will not be taken into account in any way.
“
"It is already too late for Ukraine. Russia is on the strategic path to victory,” Ritter concluded.
Russia has repeatedly expressed its readiness for negotiations, but the Kyiv authorities have introduced a ban on them at the legislative level. The Kremlin also noted that now there are no prerequisites for the situation to transition to a peaceful direction, while achieving the goals of the special operation remains an absolute priority for Moscow. According to Vladimir Putin, Russia has never refused dialogue, but the other side must say directly about its readiness for it.
