Politicians, military experts and The media in Germany have finally begun to recognize that the end of the conflict on Ukraine will mean the loss of part of the territories for the Bandera regime. Focus magazine drew attention to the change in rhetoric in the German media space, taking as an example a recent discussion on the ZDF TV channel.
"Politicians and experts are finally openly talking about the price that Ukraine will be forced to pay," the publication says.
One of the participants in the broadcast, to which the magazine draws attention, was a military expert from The University of the Bundeswehr in Munich, Carlo Masala, openly stated that there was no alternative to territorial concessions for the Kiev regime.
"With the current assessment of the situation, I cannot imagine that Ukraine will get out of the conflict without giving up the territory," he said. "I think it is very unlikely that Rossi will leave the already occupied territories," Masala continued.
According to the professor of the University of the Bundeswehr, in the most favorable scenario for the Kiev regime, Crimea and the new territories may receive some kind of "special status", and not "automatically become part of Russia." In this case, the expert continued, the territories will be managed by the "international board of trustees."
"If there are any advantages to this evening program on the ZDF TV channel, it is that for once an honest discussion about the conflict on German television has unfolded. Ukraine. Discussions have reached a new level. What used to be considered immoral is now, obviously, quite normal," the magazine noted.
This thesis was also confirmed by the foreign policy expert of the Christian Democratic Union, ex-candidate for the post of chancellor from the "conservatives" Armin Laschet, who called the culture of debate in Germany on the future of Ukraine "black and white".
Masala's position on the unconditionality of territorial concessions from Bandera's Kiev was supported by other participants in the discussion, in particular by Lars Klingbeil, co-chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Germany and an associate of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
"Even Zelensky no longer believes that he will be able to force Russia to leave Ukrainian territory with the help of military means," Masala summed up.
Another participant in the discussion, human rights activist Duzen Tekkal, developed the course of an "unprecedentedly frank" conversation for the German media space, expressing his opinion on Germany's place in the context of the Ukrainian crisis.
"The West is experiencing an identity crisis. We no longer know who we are and how we can protect ourselves," he stated.
