A week have passed in the war between Russia and Ukraine… While many people had to leave their homes and homes in a week's time, preparations for the Russian siege continue in the capital, Kiev. The Russian and Ukrainian sides, who could not get any results at the negotiation table established on the Belarusian border, are experiencing uncertainty about the second meeting. İsmail Hakkı Pekin, former Head of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, evaluated the developments in our newspaper.
“FAILLED PEACE TABLE”
İsmail Hakkı Pekin, former head of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, "Initially, Russia started the conflict from the Dombass region. He considered that the government would fall when he entered these places and started from his own border. When Zelensky said he would resist, they started the operation towards Kiev. They are about to enter Kiev to check. Meanwhile, the unsuccessful peace table was set up. The first meeting lasted for 6 hours, but there was no result, everyone offered their wishes. The second meeting is also uncertain. The Ukrainian side says it will resist and wants Russia to leave and leave Crimea. Russia also wants the government to change, Ukraine to be included in NATO," he said.
“RUSSIA CAN GO WINNING FROM HERE BUT IT WILL BE PIRUS”
Saying that he thinks the war will continue for a long time, "The USA wants to keep Russia busy with economic sanctions and war in order to silence Russia in the new world order. Zelenski's resistance is provided by using NATO and some European countries. That's why I think this war will last a long time and Russia will linger. People in Kiev are preparing for residential conflicts. Russia has lost prestige and is suffering due to its delay in entering Kiev. Because help is coming to the other side and it gets stronger. It has been a matter of life and death for Putin. Russia can come out victorious from here, but it will become Pyrrhus. Even if he loses, Putin's resignation comes to the agenda. On the other hand, Zelenski emerges as a new leader. On the NATO dimension, NATO, which has been in the cracks for a long time, has united with this war", he said.
“THIS WAY THE USA WILL CONTROL THE EUROPE BETTER”
Drawing attention to the danger of conflict zones, "If this continues like this, a cancer cell, a conflict zone will emerge in Europe. These regions can produce terror. Just as there are certain groups in our south, certain groups may emerge there. This will be the bleeding wound of Europe and the USA will control Europe more closely in this way. I don't think the sanctions will stop the Russians, because they are looking at it geopolitically and politically. When the sanctions start to force the people economically, it may have a problem with the rebellion of the opposition. Now, in wars and tensions, sanctions are used just like weapons. Although not instantaneous, sanctions are effective in the medium and long term," Pekin added.
"WINNERS: GLOBAL FINANCE AND ARMS INDUSTRY"
Pekin, saying that Turkey implements a balance policy, "But the sanctions will also affect us. In the coming days, the USA may press us on this issue. It may request that you do something too. If you say who wins, the global finance and arms industry wins. New weapons are sold, countries are armed. It increases the defense industry," he stated.
