"This prolongs the war in Ukraine": Zhdanov pointed out the danger

The aggressor country Russia forms its pool of supporters — a coalition of those who support it. As a result, this prolongs the war in Ukraine, but it cannot last indefinitely.

Military expert Oleh Zhdanov expressed this opinion in a comment on the TSN.ua website.

"We have our coalition of partners who support us - the “Ramstein” format coalition. Russia also forms its coalition of those who support it. The main factors here are Iran and China. And, most likely, it is profitable for China to bargain for its foreign policy position, which is why they themselves supply equipment to Russia in defiance of sanctions, and they buy gas in Russia - paying in foreign currency. And they supply sanctioned goods such as microchips. Perhaps, and weapons through North Korea. So it is beneficial for China. Unfortunately, for every action there is a counteraction. Today, China and Russia, together in our person, oppose the Western world," Oleh Zhdanov says.

According to him, this prolongs the war in Ukraine, but it cannot last indefinitely.

"There are several factors that affect the economy, finances, and the military issue. Moreover, both here and in the Russian Federation. Compared to us, the situation in the Russian Federation is much worse in these areas, except for the military. So, I wouldn't say indefinitely long, but unfortunately, it is being prolonged," the military expert explained.
