Russia Has Achieved Its Strategic Objectives In Ukraine; Kyiv 100% Reliant On NATO For Survival: Chinese Expert


Russia’s strategic objectives in its ongoing military campaign in Ukraine have been achieved, according to a Chinese expert who believes that the West has exaggerated Russia’s strategic ambitions.

Lu Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that while Russia has managed to achieve its strategic targets in Ukraine, Kyiv’s forces, on the other hand, have no independent capability to defend themselves, as they are hundred percent dependent on the West.

“The truth is, Russia’s strategic targets have been achieved,” Lu told the Global Times. “Russia has established a stable front east of the Dnieper River, and they can launch counterstrike and small-scale attacks westward.”
