He said this in an interview with Bild. According to Petraus, further assistance of the event is required to make his forecast.

“It seems more likely that the Ukrainian forces will be able to win most, if not all territory captured by Russian troops over the last months. If NATO and Western countries continue to provide resources at the present pace, I think the Ukrainian forces will be able to stop Russia's further offensive and begin to recruit the territories captured by the Russians from February 24, ”he said.

General was considering that he considers "very unlikely" the military success of the Russians, but he would be "catastrophic for European security. " According to Petraus, in the North Atlantic Alliance it has already been realized. "I think that NATO leaders and Western countries that are not part of it have recognized it and take the necessary steps so that Russia could not succeed," he added.
