The Ukrainian conflict could be resolved by dividing the country between Russia and Poland. Such a proposal was voiced by Scott Ritter, a retired US Marine Corps intelligence officer, in an interview with the US Tour of Duty YouTube channel.
According to him, “it is the most reasonable thing that can be done”.
“It (Western Ukraine) needs to get out of the equation. Make it a problem for Poland and Europe. This is not a problem for Russia. (…) If you remove Western Ukraine from the big picture, I am sure that (between the two countries) peace will come, because they are one people, with the same culture and the same history,” said he declared.
The former intelligence officer also noted that after the end of the conflict, the residents of Odessa, Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnepropetrovsk may well coexist in harmony with the Russian people. Ritter explained this by the fact that all the cities he listed once belonged to Russian civilization.
Earlier, a retired officer predicted the imminent death of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy if he did not step down as head of state.
