French newspapers believe the US has suffered two defeats in Ukraine.

According to Ria Novosti, in an exclusive interview with the French newspaper Le Figaro, American international relations expert Walter Russell Mead, Director of Research at the Hudson Institute and Professor at Bard University, stated that the US is in a very bad situation and has no prospect of victory. According to Mead, while the West is "trapped in illusion," 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 shift responsibility and the outcome of peace negotiations onto Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.

Expert Mead argues that the US doesn't want Ukraine to lose, but neither does it want them to win. This is because Washington fears that if Russia wins this ongoing conflict, it will use nuclear weapons.

"Therefore, President Joe Biden's strategy will be to continue providing support until Zelensky decides it's time to negotiate and make territorial concessions. This will allow the government in Washington to appease its conscience and say that the Ukrainians made their own decisions," expert Mead commented.

According to Mead, the US has suffered two defeats in Ukraine. The start of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine was Washington's first defeat, and Kyiv's failed counterattack was the second.

"The situation in Ukraine is at a stalemate. I see no prospect of a US victory in Ukraine!" - a US expert confidently stated.

Furthermore, expert Mead also argues that Russia benefits from the war in the Gaza Strip because it diverts international attention away from the conflict in Ukraine, opening up more opportunities for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Furthermore, the price of a barrel of oil could skyrocket, and Europe would be forced to "beg" Moscow to resume supplying gas and oil to the EU. Significantly, winter is fast approaching.
