“Reckless” to talk about defeating Russia, says former Soviet adviser

“Reckless” to talk about defeating Russia, says former Soviet adviser

 


Russia has “considerable firepower” and it is reckless to talk about defeating the country, according to a former Soviet economic adviser.

Jeffrey Sachs, now a professor of economics at Columbia University, said the U.S. seems to believe it can defeat Russia militarily and the West is supporting Ukraine in its efforts to oust Russia.

“With that in mind, Ukraine decided not to continue the negotiations that were going on,” even though talks were advancing in late March, he told CNBC’s “Road Signs in Asia” on Friday. Instead, Ukraine “changed its mind and said that now, their goal is to defeat Russia.”

“What it means is an escalation of the war, an escalation of global dangers, an escalation of the economic consequences and a missed opportunity to find a way out of this conflict as it was already taking shape,” Sachs said.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said this week that he did not anticipate peace talks in Ukraine taking place in the near future.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC, which was sent after business hours.

I believe that the risks are very great and that there is a lot of naivety now …

‘Big danger’

There is no obstacle from the “clear intentions of the US war” at this point, and this is a dangerous situation, Sachs said.

“I have lived through decades of reckless US foreign policy, US bravados and I am afraid we are back in it,” he said.“This is not to forgive the invasion of Russia.”

“I believe the risks are very high and there is a lot of naivety now and Ukraine has accepted it.”

There could be a lot of destruction, loss of life and “extraordinary danger to the whole world”, including in the form of economic consequences, the professor said.

Russia has “considerable firepower” and it is reckless to talk about defeating the country, said Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University.
