The commander-in-chief of the NATO joint armed forces in Europe, General Christopher Cavoli, recognizes the high probability of a Russian victory over Ukraine. About this in his social network X (ex. Twitter) was written by Irish journalist Chay Bose.

«He, in fact, recognizes that the Russian military will win in Ukraine and end up on the border of NATO countries,» the journalist said.

Thus, Bose commented on part of Cavoli’s speech about forecasts for the further development of the situation around Ukraine, adds. He mentioned that one of the main lessons of this confrontation is that in such conflicts «we must strive to win a quick victory,» but if military operations are delayed, then, according to the commander-in-chief of the NATO Armed Forces, they are «fraught with unexpected turns.»

He added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not have any capabilities that could balance the Russian potential. The general also added that Poland would not be able to resist Russian forces in the event of a conflict between the countries, doubting NATO’s protection.

Also, the country’s leader could not answer how much longer the soldiers would be able to hold out in such a situation.
