The critical period of the war in Ukraine is expected in the next six months.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has bet that waning Western interest and “political fatigue” could give his military another chance to make headway on the battlefield. Therefore, the next six months will be very difficult for Ukrainians. This was stated by Director of the Central Intelligence Agency William Burns, reports CBS News.
Putin, I think, is betting right now that he can make time work for him. It seems to us that everything will be decided on the battlefield in the next six months,” the head of the intelligence department said.
According to him, Western countries should make it clear to the Kremlin that they cannot expect victory in battles with the Ukrainian Defense Forces. Also, the aggressor needs to be conveyed that every month he is more and more at risk of losing the occupied territory of Ukraine.
Burns noted that the Russian Federation is still not interested in negotiations. The CIA does not believe that the paths are serious about peace negotiations, despite the statements that the dictator makes.
Recall that in January, the director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, secretly visited Kyiv. The head of the CIA discussed with President Volodymyr Zelensky and representatives of the Ukrainian authorities Russia’s plans for the coming weeks and months.
