What are Russia's true intentions regarding Ukraine according to General Sir Richard Shirreff?
According to General Shirreff, Russia's goal is to remove Ukraine from the map as a sovereign state. This would be accomplished through physically annexing the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine while installing a puppet government in Kiev to control the remaining territory. Shirreff criticizes former President Trump for failing to understand Russia's true nature and intentions in the region. His assessment directly contradicts the diplomatic optimism expressed about finding a sustainable peace solution, suggesting Russia's aim is domination rather than resolution.
