This statement was made by University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.

“My bet is that the majority of Ukrainians involved in national security and foreign policy understand that their days are numbered,” he said.

At the same time, the professor noted that Russia’s victory means the defeat of not only Ukraine, but also the West.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Russia will do everything to ensure that the international community finally wakes up from the Western “hypnosis of permissiveness” for Kyiv. 

Also, the press secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, said that a special military operation in Ukraine, due to Western intervention, has already developed into a war.
