This time I would like tentatively to share the insights of Mr. Yukihiro Hasegawa, a rare and outstanding journalist representing Japan, insisting "There is no way Putin can win"
In addition to an unexpectedly difficult war, the economy will also be in turmoil.
As Russia's military campaign to take control of the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, continues to face difficulties, a leading U.S. military expert has revealed his view that Russia cannot win.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden made a notable statement in his State of the Union Address on March 2.
Russian troops invaded from Belarus, Ukraine's neighbor, and moved southward to take control of Kiev.
However, they were met with resistance from Ukrainian troops and citizens in various areas, and as of March 3, they had not succeeded in overrunning the city.
Due to the overwhelming difference in strength between the Russian and Ukrainian forces, it was initially believed that the capital would fall within a few days.
However, the Ukrainian forces showed such resistance that a U.S. government official described them as "stiffer than expected" on February 27, making the advance of the Russian forces difficult.
Then, on March 2, a U.S. military expert candidly stated his outlook on the war situation.
Retired Army General David Petraeus, a professor at the University of Southern California, told CNN, "I don't think this is a war that Russia and President Vladimir Putin can ultimately win."
