The conflict between NATO and Russia in Ukraine; In which direction is the field and political situation going?

According to RCO News Agency, the Ukrainian army attacked the Russian “Kursk” region on August 6 (16 August), but the Ukrainian army was not only unable to maintain its positions, but suffered heavy losses in this region as well as its eastern front in “Donbass”. ” became.

“Jeffrey Sachs”, a famous economist and the head of the organization called “Sustainable Development Solutions Network”, affiliated with the United Nations, assessed in an interview that the Ukrainian army has no prospect of achieving its goals and achieving success in Kursk.

Saks said in an interview with “Sputnik” News agency: “Ukraine’s attack on Kursk was a big mistake that broke the defense lines of the country’s army in the Donbas region. This attack will not achieve anything. “Ukraine is on the path to defeat in both the Kursk and Donbass battlefields.”

In response to the Ukrainian attacks in Kursk, Russian President Vladimir Putin, referring to the state of Russian military operations in Ukraine, said: “We are not talking about advances of 200 to 300 meters, but the Russian armed forces are advancing in square kilometers, and we are up to We have not had such a speed in Donbas. After that, there was a series of attacks by Russian forces against the areas occupied by Ukraine, which resulted in many casualties and damages for Ukrainian forces.

The West believes that with the advance of Russia, the security of Europe will be endangered

Abdulreza Farjirad, in an interview with ISNA about the developments in Ukraine and Russia’s presence on the territory of Ukraine, and on the one hand expressing Russia’s desire for peace talks in the coming months, said: Russia’s policy was to occupy the 2 regions of Donsk and Luhansk because the people in these regions are Russian speakers and then enter Ukraine. Now it has taken over parts of the southern part of Ukraine and some of the northern regions near Kharkiv. With these developments, Russia is trying to convince its people that it has won the war against Ukraine.

He stated that the Western Front led by the US and NATO are still supporting Ukraine and are trying hard to ensure that Russia does not have the upper hand in the peace negotiations, adding: That is why they planned for Ukrainian forces to enter Russia and in the last few weeks we have seen Ukrainians entered Kursk with their forces. The fact is that the attacks and advances in Kursk were carried out under the guidance of NATO and advanced weapons and Western advisers, because the West seeks to create a balance in possible peace negotiations in the future, so that if negotiations are held, they will not be in a zero and hundred situation.

This expert on international issues stated: The issue of Ukraine is not only important for the West, but the issue of mistrust in Europe towards Russia and the security of this continent is at stake. NATO believes that if Russia has the upper hand and the situation of occupying Ukraine’s territory is as it is now, the security of Europe will be endangered, so they are trying to keep at least these areas that Ukraine has taken in Russia and the Kursk province. At the same time, the developments of the war in Ukraine are closely related to the fate of the US presidential elections. If “Kamala Harris” wins the election, Western pressure on Russia will increase. If “Donald Trump” wins, it is natural that he will definitely announce that we will not help Ukraine anymore and the two sides should sit down and negotiate.

The Russians will not lose the eastern regions of Ukraine

Farjirad said about the tool of Putin’s desire for peace talks: Russia feels that it will achieve the achievement of the war it wanted in a few months, that is, by autumn, and it will be able to occupy the desired areas. However, sanctions have put pressure on Russia, but it is important to sit at the negotiating table with full hands.

He continued: “It is possible that with Russia’s advance in the eastern regions, Moscow will be able to capture the desired regions, but I am not sure that it will be able to take back the regions it lost in Kursk easily.” Of course, Russia should pay attention to the fact that exerting excessive pressure on Ukraine may encourage Westerners to send advanced weapons to Ukraine, which will not have good consequences.

This expert on international affairs stated: “The situation has become somewhat complicated, but the Russians seem to have achieved their goals on the territory of Ukraine and are trying to stabilize their positions in the coming months.” At the same time, there is a possibility that Ukraine will be removed from the Kursk region.

Saying that “the confrontation between the West and NATO with Russia is still at the highest level”, Faraji Rad emphasized: after all, the situation is such that I think it is unlikely that Russia will lose the war. Russia is a country that has a lot of material resources and wealth, and its weapons and forces are more than Ukraine, however, the fate of the war in Ukraine is still uncertain and unexpected events may change the situation. However, it is almost certain that the Russians will not lose the territories they have gained so far, it remains to be seen whether Ukraine can stay in Kursk or not.
