A former British army general has warned the West that a potential victory for Vladimir Putin in Ukraine would be a disaster.
General Sir Patrick Sanders, who served as Chief of the General Staff from 2022 to 2024, stressed the critical importance of a Ukrainian victory for the maintenance of the existing world order.
Speaking on an episode of BBC’s Ukraincast, the retired general discussed Russia’s future without Vladimir Putin.
“We now have these great powers, this axis of powers, trying to overthrow the world order, and I don’t think peace with Russia is possible,” he said.
“Russia sees itself in an existential conflict with the West… I think Putin is a product of Russian strategic culture; he is not its architect,” he added.
Sir Patrick Sanders’ comments come as Ukraine now faces an additional challenge from North Korean forces.
