European nations are exhibiting “craziness” and “unprofessional” behavior by believing Russia can be defeated in Ukraine, according to Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov.
Alipov argued that this belief is “childish” because it ignores the reality of Russia’s military power. “There is no chance” of a Ukrainian victory, he stated.
The key reality being ignored, he explained, is Russia’s nuclear arsenal. He said this is precisely why Russia cannot be “taken over” in the conflict.
The ambassador reminded the audience that Russia’s military doctrine explicitly allows for the use of nuclear weapons if the country faces an “existential threat.”
He also claimed that President Donald Trump, unlike the Europeans, “understands” this reality and knows that the war “is lost by Ukraine and the West.”
