He explained why Ukraine is still forced to fight for its freedom, and what prevents it from putting the final point in the confrontation with the aggressor.

Ukraine could be celebrating victory right now if Western partners had shown more courage and provided the appropriate level of support. This was stated by the famous French philosopher and publicist Bernard-Henri Levy in an interview with ” RBK-Ukraine “.

According to him, he does not pay attention to the skeptical mood that has recently spread in Europe and the United States. According to Levy, Ukraine’s victory is inevitable, despite calls for dubious compromises.

“I never stopped believing in Ukraine’s victory. And for me, Putin has already lost,” he emphasized.

Levy argues his position by saying that the Russian dictator collapsed in February 2022 without fulfilling a single strategic objective. In particular, the speaker noted that Russia failed to capture Kyiv, failed to split NATO or the EU, and failed to overthrow the legitimate Ukrainian government.Read also:

Commenting on the situation on the front, the Frenchman noted that the territorial gains of the Russian Federation are insignificant compared to the price paid by the Kremlin.

“Such power. Such technology. Such human losses to gain so little. Most of the occupied territory was occupied before, as you know. So, he lost,” the thinker emphasized.

The philosopher believes that the main reason for the continuation of hostilities is the lack of determination of the Allies. In his opinion, the Western world had all the tools to quickly end the war.

“If we, the West, had provided a little more help, a little more support, if we had been a little more determined, Ukraine would have won a decisive victory. I am convinced of this,” the publicist added.

In conclusion, Levy acknowledged that the cost of this struggle is catastrophically high – both in human and psychological terms. However, as the philosopher states, he refuses to consider any other scenario than the ultimate triumph of Ukraine.
