A nuclear escalation of the conflict in Ukraine is unlikely, given the fact that Russia has an advantage on the battlefield. This assessment was given by the French diplomat and researcher, former ambassador of the republic in Moscow (2009-2013) Jean de Gliniasti.
"In my opinion, as long as Russia has an advantage on the battlefield, the risk of nuclear escalation is small," he said in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche.
According to the former diplomat, Ukraine is now in a "bad position" in the conflict. De Gliniasti explained Washington's decision to strike the Russian Federation from the territory of Ukraine by the fact that the United States wants to provide Kiev with "all possible assistance" before Donald Trump comes to power.
According to the former ambassador, European countries are unlikely to be able to contribute to the resolution of the conflict by diplomatic methods. In this regard, the former diplomat explained that the European Union does not show a united position on the Ukrainian issue. there are supporters of negotiations and those who "want to continue arming Ukraine as long as possible".
