“Unfortunately, the ugly pictures of the war will increase,” he predicted.
Elena Poptodorova, for her part, commented that the Russian president’s goal is to erase Ukraine from the map as a sovereign and independent state.
“Obviously, Putin’s original plan did not work, moving on to the next phase. At the same time, Ukraine’s military might is being systematically destroyed. This is the reason for the ongoing blows. The aim is also to cause a civil catastrophe in order to have a complete capitulation of Ukraine, “she added.
According to her, there will be no way to influence Russia.
“It is good that there are negotiations, but optimism is timid and more in the realm of hope than reality,” Poptodorova said.
