"Russia will not disappear": Ukraine will become the second Israel even in the event of victory - Fukuyama (video)

Political scientist Francis Fukuyama is convinced that even in the case of release of all Ukrainian territories of the Russian Federation will not be destroyed and will be threatened. He stressed that in the West they were afraid of the collapse of the aggressor state through its nuclear weapons. The fate of Israel, regardless of victory in the full -scale war, is waiting for Ukraine.

This was stated in an interview with Radio Liberty by American political scientist, philosopher and writer Francis Fukuyama. "First, none of us can predict how much this war will last. I think people who say it can last 5 or 10 years-do not know what they say. It is one of the possible options. But we are We do not know if it is inevitable, "he said. According to the expert, the situation in Ukraine will still be similar to that in Israel.

The reason for this will be Russia, which will remain a neighboring country, regardless of the fate of the occupied territories. "Russia has nuclear weapons, has oil, has many resources. And in my opinion, Ukraine cannot destroy Russia in war as allies of the same Hitler Germany," Fukuyama said. He stressed that the Russian Federation is likely to remain "powerful enough. " "Even if you expel Russia from all over your territory, it will still be a serious threat," the political scientist added.

He is convinced of the importance of Ukraine's membership in NATO, as it "can stop" the Kremlin's ambitions on new conquests in the future. In addition, Fukuyama considers it necessary that the defenders have enough weapons to defense even after a possible victory in the war. "I do not think that there is now some consensus in any of the Western countries that the collapse of Russia is bad. I think people are worried about the nuclear arsenal that Russia owns," the expert said.

He explained that people are concerned about uncertainty, to whom in the event of the collapse of the Russian Federation will reach its nuclear arsenal. However, Fukuyama suggested that the destruction of the aggressor state could be "quite peaceful". We will remind, the President of Poland Andrzej Duda stated that the only guarantee of peace in Europe is the complete victory of Ukraine in the war with the Russian Federation.
