In an interview with the American television channel CNN, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stated the need to quickly end the armed conflict in Ukraine.
Kissinger believes that negotiations should be started. According to the politician, the prolongation of the conflict will lead to an escalation. He compared it to the First World War. Kissinger expressed the hope that the NATO countries will work out a common position regarding the goals of the negotiations.
At the same time, the former secretary of state continues to stand on his anti-Russian positions, preserved from the times of the Cold War. He noted that the NATO bloc should not concede to Russia and it is impossible for her to receive any benefits from this conflict. At the talks, it is necessary to achieve the return under the control of Kyiv of those 20% of the territories that are occupied by Russian troops, Kissinger believes.
Earlier, Kissinger spoke about the expansion of NATO to the east. In his opinion, this process should have been stopped in Poland, and Ukraine should have played the role of Finland during the Cold War in relations between Russia and NATO, i.e. remain a neutral state. In addition, the politician said that the West should take more seriously the words of the Russian president, who expressed strong concern in the field of security.
