Direct conflict between Russia and NATO unlikely: Expert
An expert in Europe has said that the process of the Ukraine war can continue until 2023 and it seems that the war will be the same as in the past, adding “unless Russia takes a passive and negative action that will lead to a conflict between Russia and NATO.”
“Most of the data shows that the Ukraine war will not lead to a direct conflict between Russia and NATO. The reality is that the current war is not about Russia and Ukraine but this war is between NATO and Russia in the field of Ukraine,” Roksana Niknami told ILNA.
She said that the process of the Ukraine war can continue until 2023 and it seems that the war will be the same as in the past, adding “unless Russia takes a passive and negative action that will lead to a conflict between Russia and NATO.”
She explained that the reason for the continuation of Western aid to Ukraine against Russia is that this war turned into a battle of prestige and is beyond a bilateral conflict.
She noted that the West considers the Ukraine- Russia war as a conflict between “Authoritarianism and Democracy”.
