"Ukrainian leadership is inexperienced," - Kissinger reveals way to protect country

In an interview 99-year-old Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State and national security advisor, suggests that the primary goal should be to end the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv rather than fuel further confrontation.

Kissinger believes that Ukraine's entry into NATO could help achieve this, despite acknowledging the country's inexperienced leadership. He suggests that, regardless of the peace treaty, Russia will retain Sevastopol, Crimea's largest city and home to the Black Sea Fleet, resulting in a mixed outcome that may not satisfy either side and could potentially lead to new conflicts.

Kissinger expresses concern about the European stance on Ukraine's NATO prospects, stating that providing modern weapons without granting NATO membership is a risky approach. He proposes admitting Ukraine into NATO as a means of both protecting the country and avoiding territorial disputes.

Additionally, the politician doubts the successful cooperation between Russia and China on the Ukrainian issue, noting their mutual suspicion and lack of trust. While China refrains from condemning Russia, it expresses support for Ukraine's independence and opposes the use of nuclear weapons. Kissinger even speculates that China might approve Ukraine's accession to NATO.
