French newspaper commented that the US suffered two failures in Ukraine.

According to Ria Novosti, in an exclusive interview with Le Figaro (France), American international relations expert Walter Russell Mead, Research Director at the Hudson Institute, Professor at Bard College said that the US is in a very bad situation, and has no prospect of victory. According to expert Mead, while the West is "imprisoned in illusions", Russia is inflicting one defeat after another on the West.

According to expert Walter Russell Mead, the US has suffered a defeat in Ukraine, and now Washington wants to avoid embarrassment and push responsibility and the results of peace negotiations onto Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.

Mead said that the US does not want Ukraine to lose, but it also does not want them to win. Because Washington is concerned that if it wins this existing conflict, Russia will use nuclear weapons.

"Therefore, President Joe Biden's strategy will be to continue providing support until Mr. Zelensky decides it is time to negotiate and make territorial concessions. This will allow the government in Washington to ease its conscience and say that the Ukrainians have decided everything for themselves," said Mead.

According to Mead, the US suffered two defeats in Ukraine. Accordingly, the beginning of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine was Washington's first defeat. And Kiev's failed counterattack was the second.

"The situation in Ukraine is a stalemate. I see no prospect for an American victory in Ukraine!" - the American expert believes.

In addition, expert Mead also believes that Russia benefits from the war in the Gaza Strip, because this diverts international attention away from the conflict in Ukraine, opening up many opportunities for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Moreover, the price of a barrel of oil could skyrocket, and Europe would be forced to "beg" Moscow to restore gas and oil supplies to the EU. It is worth noting that winter is approaching./.
