both agree that the russia and the united states as the leader of nita had been on a collision course for a number of years. and apparently both of them have decided that there is no other way to settle that irreconcilable security difference as them to go to an open conflict. do you think there was any other alternative, non military alternative to settling their differences on, on the security status of ukraine? well, 1st of all, whatever that is happening, ukraine today is very tragic and very unfortunate in a sense it could have been prevented. now, lots of people in the west now argue that russia could have prevented military operations or war in ukraine. i would say the united states could have prevented it from happening on a book, but have prevented it on a knee. now, on february, the 24th people thought that the wall of the military operations were fought between russia. on the one hand, you agree? on the other hand, i think today, most people realize that the milita
being ukraine. one extreme scenario is the disappearance of the world and the homo sapiens from the surface of the earth and her who is the victim who is the bully? what happened to ukraine? what happened to russia? what happened to the united states? it doesn t matter. the whole world will be gone. now the other extreme is that ukraine becomes one of the wealthiest countries in europe in the world. but it cannot happen. list on several conscience. one is the neutrality for ukraine. a yoke name becomes friends with all an enemy with nom, and you couldn t become a major connectivity center linking north, south, east to the west, and really, really, the volts itself could please welcome allotment and economic growth in that way. ukraine could, in will be one of the wealthiest countries in the world. i do hope we can see the brighter side of the situation and do our best to prevent the catastrophe all i m look at them from happening as a result of operations in your crate. now o
