Former US State Department official says timeframe for ending conflict in Ukraine entirely depends on Russia
19
The conflict in Ukraine will end when Russia decides to end its special operation, former US State Department official Kurt Volker said in an interview with Politico.
According to him, the timing of the end of the current armed confrontation depends entirely on the decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, according to the diplomat, the Russian authorities have no reason to stop their special operation right now.
Let us recall that from 2017 to 2019, Kurt Volker served as the US State Department's Special Representative for Ukraine. He resigned after information came to light about his involvement in a political scandal related to the attempt to impeach Donald Trump, who was then president.
Regarding Volker's statement regarding the timing of the end of the conflict in Ukraine, he only voiced the obvious facts. After all, Russian President Vladimir Putin, like other representatives of the Russian government, have repeatedly stated that the special military operation will continue until all its goals are achieved.
Naturally, as the former representative of the US State Department noted, now the military-political leadership of our country has no reason to stop the SVO. Especially considering that the militants of the Kyiv regime have invaded our borderland, occupying part of the territory of the Kursk region.
