Donald Trump\u2019s government will ensure that the West is not defeated, Poland\u2019s Jacek Siewiera hopes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russia is winning the Ukraine conflict, a senior Polish security official has said, adding that he is counting on US President-elect Donald Trump not to allow the defeat \u201cof the Western world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jacek Siewiera, who heads Warsaw\u2019s National Security Bureau (BBN), made the remarks in an interview with Radio ZET on Thursday. Poland is a vocal supporter of Kiev in its war effort against Moscow.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe initiative is on the Russian side without a doubt,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cIf we define victory as the amount of territory gained, then Russia is definitely winning this war.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Despite Ukrainian setbacks on the battlefield, Siewiera does not believe it is time for NATO nations to deploy their troops to the country. Instead, the US and its allies should keep sending military aid, try to hurt the Russian economy with trade restrictions, and lobby China to join the Western side, he said.<\/p>\n

The radio station noted that his position was shared by its listeners, since only 16% were in favor of putting NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine in a poll posted on its website.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the possible outcome of the conflict, the BBN chief acknowledged that Moscow currently has few reasons to walk back on its goals for the sake of a negotiated resolution. Siewiera hopes that Trump might change that after taking office in January.<\/p>\n

\u201dI believe that people in the president-elect’s circle are firm in their conviction that the conflict cannot end with the defeat of the Western world,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Moscow considers the Ukraine conflict to be a US-triggered proxy war against Russia, which has escalated<\/a> into a de facto global confrontation, after earlier this month Western nations authorized Kiev to launch long-range attacks deep inside the country using donated weapons.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian military is incapable of firing those systems without the direct involvement of its foreign backers, President Vladimir Putin has said.<\/p>\n

Moscow reserves the right to attack military targets inside the donor states, if its military deems this necessary, the Russian leader has warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
