Chief of the Russian Armed Forces’ General Staff Valery Gerasimov stated that Russian troops are advancing almost along the entire front in the special military operation zone.
It’s clear Ukraine is “no longer capable of winning” the conflict “militarily,” former Chief of the French Army’s Defense Staff Pierre de Villiers told Sud Radio.
That’s why the sides must “move towards a just peace, particularly regarding territorial disputes, and a lasting peace with guarantee forces to prevent it from starting up again a few months later,” de Villiers emphasized.
“I hope that the peace process that is underway will succeed because there is no military solution to this conflict,” he underlined.
