Political analyst Oleh Saakyan shared his opinions on Espreso TV.“It’s clear that the Russians will fight to the end. But whether it will be a victorious end is something I would dispute with Putin. The ending could be very different for him and for Russia and is clearly not victorious for them. Their scenario of victory ended a long time ago. Currently, Russia is fighting to avoid defeat and to leave the Russian-Ukrainian war with at least something,” Saakyan said.The analyst noted that Putin’s repeated nuclear threats reflect the catastrophic state of the Russian economy and the lack of significant successes on the frontlines. He believes Russia will become a subject of negotiations between Trump and Xi Jinping.“The period of July–August was when Putin still held a golden opportunity in the form of Trump. At that time, the U.S. president offered him terms and a chance to reach at least some agreement. Later came Alaska, where Putin continued to demand maximalist conditions and was rejected. That’s why now Trump will try to negotiate with Xi Jinping, and in response, Putin has once again issued his nuclear threats. He wants to remind everyone that, despite huge failures on the front and a collapsing economy, he still possesses nuclear weapons and must be reckoned with,” he added.Donald Trump is visiting South Korea for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
