Gen. Petraeus tells ABC News there's no way for Russia to win even with nuclear escalation



Gen. Petraeus tells ABC News there’s no way for Russia to win even with nuclear escalation.

Russia has no path to victory in its war against Ukraine even with the threat of nuclear escalation says Gen. David Petraeus on ABC’s “This Week.”

Russia attacked the Ukrainian president’s hometown and other targets Sunday with suicide drones, and Ukraine took back full control of a strategic eastern city in a counteroffensive that has reshaped the war.

Russia’s loss of the eastern city of Lyman, which it had been using as a transport and logistics hub, is a new blow to the Kremlin as it seeks to escalate the war by illegally annexing four regions of Ukraine and heightening threats to use nuclear force.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s land grab has threatened to push the conflict to a dangerous new level. It also prompted Ukraine to formally apply for fast-track NATO membership.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Sunday that his forces now control Lyman: “As of 12:30 p.m. (0930 GMT) Lyman is cleared fully. Thank you to our militaries, our warriors,” he said in a video address.

Russia’s military didn’t comment Sunday on Lyman, after announcing Saturday that it was withdrawing its forces there to more favorable positions.

  1. After a nuclear war it won't matter, they may live longer but the outcome is the same WE ALL DIE.
    The lucky ones die instantly, the rest die slowly and painfully. Cold, freezing, starving, skin bleeding, teeth and hair falling out from radiation poisoning. There is no winning a nuclear war, WE ALL DIE ! And they will die in New Zealand, Australia and South America as well, it just takes longer. WE ALL DIE in a nuclear war.

  2. Its Russia who made the invasion like an Axis power like Japan then in WWII, so Russia should be nukes to learn a lesson. Putin must be tried for special military operation crimes, and Russia pay special military operation reparation and compensation.
