“Putin can no longer get out of the war,” — Polish general

The head of the Kremlin, who intends to force Ukraine to capitulate by spring, can no longer retreat — this assessment was made by former commander of the Polish military unit “GROM,” General Roman Polko, on TVN24.

“Putin realizes that after the conflict ends he will face retribution. Right now Putin is saving his own life, because he went too far and cannot turn back,” he said on the program “Kropka nad i.”

The former soldier compared the Russian dictator’s position to that of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, noting that both understand the inevitability of retribution after the end of hostilities, writes Onet Wiadomosci.

In Polko’s view, the war’s outcome is extremely unfavorable for Russia. He noted that fighting that could have lasted only a few weeks has now stretched into a fifth year.

“Russia has suffered enormous economic losses and human casualties, and ultimately society will demand accountability from it,” the general said. Earlier reports indicated that Putin has again increased the size of the Russian army.
