It is Ukraine’s progress on the battlefield that will be able to shape the “prospects for diplomacy” in the future.
Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has no intention of negotiating a war, but still hopes to annex Ukrainian territory. This was announced on Tuesday, April 11, by CIA Director William Burns, writes CNN.
“Instead of backing down, he redoubled his efforts,” the CIA director said of Putin.
He emphasized the importance of Ukraine’s planned counter-offensive, saying that much is at stake in the coming months.
Burns stressed that Ukraine’s progress on the battlefield will shape the “prospects for diplomacy.”
The head of the CIA noted how bravely the Ukrainian defenders were fighting in the Donbas and the Russian army was exhausted.
“Putin was deeply mistaken in his assumptions about Ukraine before the war. Real countries fight back,” he said, noting that Ukraine and its president did so.
He also emphasized the importance of continued US support for Ukraine, including through the exchange of intelligence data.
The current US authorities are not doing enough to support Ukraine, and what they are doing is not happening fast enough. Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.
Recall that in early February, Burns said that the next six months of the war would be decisive.
