British expert explains why Putin needs Ukraine

The head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, needs Ukraine as a resource to use its territory and people to wage an existential war against NATO. This was stated by retired British army colonel Glen Grant, a military expert, on the air of the Espresso TV channel.

He needs human resources to fight for Russia," the expert pointed out.

As the military expert noted, the Russian president has already enlisted Ukrainians from Crimea and other temporarily occupied territories into the Russian army and forced them to fight.

This is the scenario he is striving for. Putin will continue to establish the world order. He will support anything that looks like Hamas, like any war in the Middle East or Africa," the colonel noted.

Grant pointed out that Putin will not stop the war in Ukraine, but will try to weaken the attention of the West by shifting it to other hot spots that he will create on the world map.

I don't know what exactly, but Putin is already actively planning something. Something will happen soon, and we need to be mentally prepared," he warned.

At the same time, Grant pointed out that Putin could truly lose the existential war and exclusively in Ukraine.

And that's why Ukraine needs to take this very seriously. So something could happen that would definitely not be in favour of implementing the strategy of the Ukrainian military command," Glenn Grant summarised.
