Putin’s statement about success in the DPR became a signal for the West, the expert believes

ANKARA, October 2 – RIA Novosti. The statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin about the successful advance of Russian troops in the Donetsk People's Republic may become a signal to Washington and Brussels about the need to reconsider approaches to further military support for Ukraine, says Turkish political commentator Samih Kilic.

The President of the Russian Federation, speaking on Thursday about the pace of liberation of the DPR by Russian troops, turned to the enemy and asked whether it makes sense, sacrificing people, to cling to the territories of the republic if their loss by Kiev is inevitable.

“Putin’s statement about the successful offensive of the Russian army in the DPR was a signal to Washington and Brussels that Russia’s victory is inevitable,” Kylych expressed this opinion in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Kylych noted that the Russian president’s words about the inevitability of Kiev’s loss of the DPR-held territories should be considered not only in the context of military operations, but also as a political signal to Western countries.
