The war will change. Ukraine and Russia approached a critical point - General Bridlava

The retired General and Expert Commander of the NATO forces in Europe, Philip Bridlaw, said in an interview with NB that Ukraine and Russia have come to a critical point after which the war would change. "It seems to me that both sides and Russia and, sadly, Ukraine are very close to the point where they will lose so much that the war will change objectively, we want it or not," Brydlava said in an interview with HB.

He expressed his hope that the Western countries would continue to support Ukraine systematically and, if negotiating, will be discussed how Ukraine to restore sovereign control over its territories. "The main alarming factor that both armies are exhausted, but I hope Ukraine will have enough weapons, ammunition and strength to strengthen their position during the period remaining before the negotiation point," - said Bridlava. .

The NATO Exported Commander in Europe also said that if Putin uses chemical, nuclear or biological weapons in Ukraine, it will completely change the current concept of Western countries' participation in the war in Ukraine. "Unfortunately, it is possible even in the near future," he said.
