FARAGE SAYS HE DOES NOT BELIEVE UKRAINE WILL WIN THE WAR AGAINST RUSSIA

Nigel Farage has said the idea that Ukraine is going to win its war against Russia “is for the birds”.

After it was reported that UK missiles have been fired into Russian territory, he told GB News: “In the last few days, British long range Storm Shadow missiles have been fired very deep into Russia. The same has happened with American missiles.

“This is the first time in a thousand days that this has happened.

“It was interesting in Westminster, listening to the Labour government, the Conservative opposition, the Liberal Democrats; everybody still seems to think that we give Ukraine enough weaponry that somehow they’re going to win this war.

“And yet, when I get outside of Westminster and talk to ordinary folk, I’ve not met anybody in the last month who thinks Ukraine is ever going to win.

“And I do wonder, right at this time whether it’s the wise thing to do.

“I worry, because I think the idea Ukraine is going to win, frankly, is for the birds.

“I think the war has gone on for long enough and that the casualties are massive.

“I think all we’re doing is helping to prolong a stalemate. That’s my view, and it has been, actually, for some time.

“But strategically, Donald Trump, in 59 days’ time, will be in the White House. He is committed to negotiating a peace settlement. No one quite knows what that might look like, but that is what he’s committed to do.

“Is the use of American and British long-range missiles going to help him in that process or make it more difficult? And are we wise at this very moment in time to be allowing our missiles to be far deep into Russia?”
