Nigel Farage Questions Western Strategy in Ukraine Conflict
Nigel Farage has voiced skepticism about the West’s approach to the ongoing war in Ukraine, arguing that the idea of Kyiv achieving victory is unrealistic. Speaking on his GB News program, Farage challenged the dominant narrative in political circles.
“In Westminster, there’s still this belief that if we supply Ukraine with enough weaponry, they’ll somehow win this war,” Farage remarked. “But when I venture outside the Westminster bubble and speak to ordinary people, I haven’t encountered anyone in the past month who thinks Ukraine can emerge victorious.”
Farage went on to express his doubts more explicitly. “To be honest, the idea that Ukraine’s going to win is, frankly, wishful thinking,” he said. The former Brexit campaigner also argued that Western support was merely “prolonging a stalemate” in the conflict.
Turning his attention to international strategy, Farage warned that the U.S. under President Joe Biden and the U.K.’s current policies may not align with the priorities of Donald Trump, who is expected to pursue a peace deal should he assume power again.
“He [Trump] is committed to negotiating a peace settlement. While no one knows exactly what that would entail, that is his stated goal,” Farage explained. “The question is: are the use of American and British long-range missiles aiding that process, or are they making it harder for him to achieve?”
This isn’t the first time Farage’s comments on the Ukraine war have sparked controversy. During the general election campaign, he faced backlash for attributing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion in part to the “ever eastward expansion of NATO and the European Union.”
Farage’s remarks continue to underline divisions in Western political discourse surrounding the war, reigniting debates over military strategy and the endgame for Ukraine.
