In his opinion, the introduction of troops, Russia was hoping to be able to keep Ukraine in its orbit as part of the Russian sphere of influence and identity.
“But in reality, their invasion and occupation has created more nationalistic, more United and more Pro-Western Ukraine. It’s actually not very good for Russian interests. In fact, this seems to hurt them,” said Walker.
He considers it possible that Russia will worsen the situation and that “it could turn into another frozen conflict”.
