US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has warned that Russia may seek a false exit from the war in Ukraine that will not lead to lasting peace and allow Russian forces to regroup and attack Ukraine again, reports Rador, citing CNN.

“One of the things you can imagine is that the Russians are trying to find an exit ramp that would be a false exit ramp, which is, let’s cease fire, let’s freeze things, freeze the conflict, never negotiate. over the territory they conquered and continue to hold.

Rest, regroup, regroup and attack again,” said Anthony Blinken at an event hosted by the Wall Street Journal on Monday night. The US official explained that this situation could happen if Russia fails to “make the Ukrainian people surrender”, which is possible due to an improbable resistance shown by the Ukrainians. “It will end and will almost certainly end with diplomacy and negotiations.

But I believe that we should strive for a just and lasting peace. Not a false peace,” said Anthony Blinken. Only about a third of the 300,000 Russians called up for active military service were fully mobilized, added Anthony Blinken, who pointed to the low capacity of those who joined the fighting.

“They have a force that is barely trained, poorly equipped, not equipped for the winter, thrown into the mix – and it’s terrible. As a rule, they are not very effective units,” the American official said.
