Kurnosova emphasized that prolonging the war is not beneficial to anyone.

The fact that the United States will finally provide the Ukrainian military with long-range missiles and announced the transfer of other weapons indicates that the United States has realized that it is time to end Russia’s war against Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by political analyst Olga Kurnosova.

“I think, after all, this hypothesis that was talked about, that the United States and many others were thinking about weakening Russia as much as possible, so that there would be no temptation to use something else … I guess now they realized that enough has already been done , it is possible to end the war, because prolonging the war, of course, is not beneficial to anyone. This is a great loss of people, it is a great loss of infrastructure, it is a great loss of money. In fact, we are already tired of what is happening, and it is accumulating inside European countries as well. it must be finished. And how to finish it? To finally give Ukraine the weapons it has been asking for for a long time,” Kurnosova emphasized on the air of the Argument program.

At the same time, answering questions about why they were pulling for help and whether there were attempts to talk with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, including regarding the exchange of peace for Ukrainian territories, Kurnosova noted that such a possibility exists.

“If you asked me what percentage I would give for the fact that such negotiations took place, I would give 80 percent, because after all, there was a lot of talk about it, and a lot of different negotiators went to different places. Therefore, I think that such the proposal was indeed made, but Putin wanted a lot. Everyone understood that the only way is to finally win and there is no other way. Ukraine understood this a long time ago, which is called “where have you been for eight years”. In eight years, they understood That the only way is to win after all, because everything else is just an attempt to delay time to attack later,” she summed up.

How events will develop in the war: predictions

In recent days, information has been spreading about the preparation of a new offensive by the Russian occupiers. Ukrainian intelligence officers believe that Russian troops will go on the offensive in only three directions. We are talking about Donetsk, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions.

At the same time, military expert Roman Svitan believes that Crimea will be liberated this year regardless of whether Ukraine receives long-range missiles and aircraft or not. There are two scenarios, both of which end with the liberation of the peninsula.

At the same time, analysts of the American Institute for the Study of War say that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not ready for a protracted war, as he refrains from making relevant decisions. In particular, the Russian authorities are belatedly carrying out large-scale military reforms.
