A retired US military officer said that the West wants a truce because of Russia's successes in Ukraine

The desire of Western countries to cease fire in Ukraine is due to the fact that they see the success of Russian troops on the battlefield. This point of view was expressed by retired US Armed Forces officer Stanislav Krapivnik on Glenn Dizen’s YouTube channel.

“You can understand that Russia is winning and the West is in despair by how everyone suddenly starts saying: “Let’s make a truce.” Not peace, of course, but a truce,” the expert said. He emphasized that Europe's reaction most colorfully indicates that Moscow dominates the zone of special military operation.

Now there is panic in Europe, Wren added. He noted that “you can literally feel desperation in the air.”
