In a recent interview, Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis shared his perspective on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaking to John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM, Stavridis expressed that both nations are grappling with the prolonged conflict.
Stavridis eyes post-election window for Russia-Ukraine negotiation opportunities
“I think toward the end of this year, probably after the U.S. elections, we’ve got a moment for potential negotiation,” Stavridis remarked.
Although Russia and Ukraine continue to endure the strains of war, they are bolstered by support from external sources.
This support, Stavridis noted, could potentially delay any immediate resolution. Reflecting on the possible outcome, Stavridis shared his view of the conflict’s conclusion.
Stavridis foresees Ukraine conflict’s end similar to Korean war
He said, “I think the war between Ukraine and Russia will end like the Korean War, meaning that Russia will probably still have control of some portion of Ukraine, Crimea, the land bridge to Russia.”
Stavridis also touched upon the future geopolitical landscape, foreseeing significant changes. “On the other hand, I see Ukraine coming into NATO,” he continued, suggesting a regional dynamics shift.
This prediction outlines a scenario where the current situation might evolve over time.
Stavridis advocates for military aid to Ukraine
In a previous appearance on the same radio show, Stavridis emphasized the importance of supporting Ukraine.
“It’s a very dangerous situation, and here, the real action is actually not in Kyiv. The real action is in Washington,” he asserted.
He strongly advocated for military aid, reinforcing the legitimacy of Ukraine’s position: “We’ve got to provide the military support to Ukraine. Their cause is just.”
