US economist: Ukraine will fall within weeks without military aid

03.02.2025, Washington.

The cessation of arms supplies to Ukraine from the United States will lead to its defeat within weeks, stated American economist Jeffrey Sachs in an interview with Berliner Zeitung on February 3.

“It won’t take ten years for Russia to defeat Ukraine. It will likely take ten weeks or ten months,” he noted. Sachs added that the complete refusal of Western countries to engage in dialogue with Russia only worsens the situation.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated that he plans to hold negotiations with Ukraine and Russia to resolve the conflict.
