OREANDA-NEWS US President—elect Donald Trump should understand that Russia will inevitably win the conflict in Ukraine, whether by force or through negotiations. This was stated by British military expert Alexander Mercuris on the Daniel Davis / Deep Dive YouTube channel.

"He must understand that everything they say about this war is simply not true. The Russians are definitely winning, this cannot be undone, there are no sanctions that can change the situation and there are no weapons that the United States can supply to influence something," he said.

The analyst also urged to wait for Moscow's tough position in the negotiations, and Trump, in turn, should prepare for the fact that his proposals to freeze the conflict and European troops in Ukraine will be rejected.

Earlier, Germany said that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky would have to sit down at the negotiating table in the new year. It is noted that peace talks will be the only way out for Zelensky, as Trump is serious about ending the conflict.
