Ukraine gains the edge in war if it gets through this winter, former Trump's special envoy for Ukraine says
Former US president's special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg has said that if Ukraine "gets through" this winter, the advantage in the war will be on its side rather than Russia's.
Source: Kellogg speaking during a panel discussion at the Ukrainian House in Davos organised by the Viktor Pinchuk Foundation, as reported by European Pravda
Details: During the discussion, Kellogg said that he is confident Russia will not win the war in Ukraine.
He said that the Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has "sacrificed Russia so much" that he is now looking for a way to "get out of this thing because he knows he's not going to end up winning this war.".
Quote: "I understand it's a harsh winter. I understand what's happening to Kiev. I understand the temperatures. But I really do believe if Ukraine gets through this winter, January, February, and you get into March and April, the advantage accrues to you. To you Ukraine, not to Russia."
More details: Kelogg said that the problem is that Putin has psychologically reached a point where he simply cannot let go.
He said that if Putin let go, he would be admitting it was a defeat and that everything he had done had been a failure.
