Baku/19.04.22/Turan: On Monday, the US President Joe Biden held a video conference with partners to discuss further support for Ukraine, the White House said on Monday. This came just hours after Russia launched a major new offensive in eastern Ukraine.
"Washington will continue to tighten financial sanctions and other economic measures against Russia until Moscow ends its military campaign against Ukraine," State Department spokesman Ned Price said.
Washington is also considering adding Russia to the list of "state sponsors of terrorism," Price said. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said that "Despite Russian strikes, Mariupol did not surrender." He noted that despite the growing aggression of Russia, Ukrainians continue to resist.
How long will the war last?
Lawyer Fuad Agayev shares his views on the Russian-Ukrainian war in the “Difficult Question” program.
According to him, to answer the question - "How long will the war last?" impossible. “Because the cause of this war, its roots are in Russia, in the Kremlin. This primarily depends on the decision of one person - Vladimir Putin. He does not intend to voluntarily end the war. And if nothing happens to him, then the war will continue as long as the Russian Armed Forces are capable of waging it.”
According to Agaev, the Ukrainian army is fighting just fine, receiving weapons and ammunition, including offensive, long-range missile systems, artillery installations, etc.
“Therefore, we can assume that in the near future, in the next week or two, a serious change will occur,” the lawyer believes. In addition, according to him, as a result of Putin's policy, a lot of people ... fabulously rich people, Russian billionaires, an army of officials mired in corruption, suffered a very serious blow.
“These blows will continue in the future. The standard of living of the population of Russia will also decline. The country will plunge into the abyss of a general deficit,” says the lawyer. According to him, the Russian economy does not expect anything positive.
“This was recognized the day before yesterday by the chairman of the Central Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina. How difficult the situation is at least the fact that she recently resigned, and Putin refused to accept it,” he said. –0—
