Russian opponent Boris Nadezhdin claims that the conflict in Ukraine has become similar to World War I, and that in this trench combat “everyone will come to the conclusion that no one can win the war”
“Germany lost the strength it had in the Second World War, leaving the global confrontation weakened. The current conflict is more similar to the First World War, not the second: the troops remain in the trenches without major advances”, Boris Nadezhdin told Lusa in Moscow.
“As for Russia’s plans, I think it is not to take Kiev. We are facing a real war of ‘drones’”, he said, referring to the unmanned devices that, by air and sea, have been used by both sides effectively on the battlefield.
Boris Nadezhdin is almost a veteran of Russian politics, but thanks to his message against Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine, his candidacy for the Russian presidential elections gathered support and generated popular enthusiasm, collecting more than 100,000 signatures, the number needed to officially register. as a candidate for elections.
Asked about a possible outcome to the conflict in Ukraine, which is already in its third year and with no end in sight, the Russian opponent says he believes that no one can win.
“I think everyone will come to the conclusion, at a certain point, that no one is in a position to win the war. Then, the path will point towards a peace treaty”, he said.
