British historian Ian Kershaw In an interview with the German publication Sueddeutsche Zeitung, he said that the degree of destruction of the two belligerents in Ukraine is difficult to bear, therefore he assumes that the war will end in six months in the summer of 2023. At the same time, the scientist noted that Putin is not able to win this conflict.
“Whether the Ukrainians, with the support of the West, are ready for a new offensive that will allow them to repulse the attackers, we will see in the spring. If yes, then we may be on the way to one or the other decision in the spring or summer., said Kershaw, who specializes in World War II history. - Russian President Vladimir Putin has put himself in a situation he never imagined. He is now in a war that he cannot win, which is very costly and damaging.“.
He also noted that the winter will be “very difficult for Ukraine, but, of course, for many Russians“.
“A war with a neighboring country also has long-term consequences for Moscow. Russia is now isolated, at least in Europe. In this sense, the decision to invade Ukraine was costly. It will change Europe, but it is impossible to predict exactly how. But the war had already imposed a new energy policy and led to a recession.“- said the historian in an interview.
Recall that military expert Gustav Gressel believes that only by defeating Russia can a lasting peace be achieved in Europe.
