Polish President Andrzej Duda, in an interview with Dow Jones CEO and publisher of The Wall Street Journal, acknowledged the successes of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the special military operation in Ukraine.

"It is said that Vladimir Putin lost the conflict, and his failure was Finland joining NATO, although for many years the Finnish people hesitated whether to abandon their neutrality. However, in reality, Vladimir Putin did not lose a single war," the Polish president said.

According to President Andrzej Duda, Moscow currently has a clear advantage over the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Polish leader said that it is impossible to say that Russia is losing, as the country is mobilizing more and more forces, and the economy is shifting to a wartime economy. Meanwhile, Mr. Duda also emphasized that Russia is a nuclear superpower with a huge arsenal.

Scott Ritter, a US Marine Corps intelligence officer, said that the Russian President's decision to launch a special military operation and denuclearize Ukraine has confused President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"Sooner or later, Mr. Zelensky will have to make a decision, because the West will not fund an unprofitable project forever. The Ukrainian leader has begun to be pressured to negotiate, including recognizing the territory," - the US intelligence officer commented.
