Ukraine will win the war — if the US helps, former NATO commander says

WASHINGTON – Ukraine will win its war against Russia — but only if the US and Western allies continue to give Kyiv military aid, a retired four-star general and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander said.

“If the West chooses to give Ukraine what they need to win, Ukraine will win this war,” retired Gen. Phil Breedlove told Newsweek.

“This war is going to end exactly how Western policymakers want and desire it to end.”

The decorated Air Force veteran’s comments come as the world watches how Congress will handle the future of a thrice-rejected supplemental funding bill that would provide $61.4 billion in additional aid for Ukraine.

The brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine is approaching its two-year mark on February 24.

While a faction of the Republican Party has called for an end to continued funding, others remain committed to the cause.

But “if we don’t do anything different than we’re doing now” Russia will be victorious because it has “more people and depth than Ukraine does,” Breedlove warned.

US defense experts have long cited Ukraine’s fighting spirit as a key indicator of its propensity to beat back its invaders, who have suffered low morale throughout the war.

However, it’s that same commitment that Breedlove said will lead to thousands of additional deaths if the West fails to rise to the occasion.

“If the West abandons Ukraine, it will fight valiantly but tens of thousands of more Ukrainians will die and eventually Russia will subjugate all of Ukraine which will once again be a Russian vassal,” he told Newsweek.

Breedlove oversaw NATO’s allied command operations between 2013 and 2016 – a tenure that saw Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine, during which Moscow annexed the Crimean peninsula.

Ten years later, Kyiv remains dedicated to retaking Crimea – as well as ground Russia gained in eastern Ukraine during its most recent invasion.
