He bluntly responded, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interviewed by the BBC, Radakin continued, \u201cI think we\u2019ve seen a Russian invasion that is not going well. I think we\u2019re also seeing a remarkable resistance by Ukraine both by its armed forces and its people. And we\u2019re also seeing the unity of the whole globe coming together with a cohesive approach, whether that\u2019s economically, diplomatically, culturally, socially, militarily, applying pressure to Russia and that needs to continue so that Russia stops this invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all have to acknowledge that we\u2019re likely to see Russia ratcheting up the violence,\u201d he asserted. \u201cWe\u2019re going to see more indiscriminate shelling; we\u2019re going to see more ridiculous violence such as that that was meted out on the Ukraine population or attacking nuclear power plants and the world has to maintain the resolve to keep applying its pressure on Russia, because it\u2019s Putin who can bring this to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The BBC interviewer commented, \u201cBut that means standing back and watching Russia continue to shell towns and cities, thousands of people who we have seen trapped in those places. Can the West really continue to just watch on?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Radakin responded, \u201cSo this is a really difficult situation. It\u2019s a desperate and awful situation for the people of Ukraine. But we also have to be sensible in acknowledging that we want to avoid a war with Russia, and that would lead to a terrible situation getting even worse. The last thing that we want is a war between NATO and Russia; an increased escalation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked what would prevent Putin from continuing his expansion beyond Ukraine, Radakin said, \u201cI think we should acknowledge that NATO is this extraordinary strong military force, three and half million people under arms, the most powerful military force in the world. And NATO has strengthened its borders on the eastern flank. The world has been incredibly clear about the repercussions that are being borne by Russia now. This invasion is not going well for Russia; Russia is suffering; Russia is an isolated power. It\u2019s less powerful than it was 10 days ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd Russia cannot continue,\u201d he claimed. \u201cSo we have to have the confidence that what we\u2019re doing is the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The BBC interviewer asked, \u201cYou say that you think the people of Ukraine could win this. But is this a war that could last a long time, that could last a decade?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think we\u2019ve seen already the unpredictable nature of war and I don\u2019t want to predict when this will come to an end,\u201d Radakin stated. \u201cThis is going to be bloody; it\u2019s is going to lead to more death and destruction, and it\u2019s Putin that has to stop it.\u00a0 But in terms of whether or not Russia is going to be successful as an occupying force and the carnage that will be meted out back to Russia and the inability of Russia to hold Ukraine, that\u2019s what it\u2019s going to suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
