Retired NATO commander says West is afraid of Ukrainian victory

The West is afraid of a Ukrainian win, retired four-star US Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove told ABC, according to Report.

"We in the West are afraid of a Ukrainian win. Because Mr. Putin threatens us over and over with what we told him in the beginning of this war we're afraid of. We're afraid of nuclear expansion and we're afraid of this war expanding into Europe," says Gen. Breedlove.

According to him, Putin's 'war of words, his war of intimidation — or as we say in the military parlance, his deterrence — is working wildly.'

"We are giving Ukraine enough that it is not being defeated on the battlefield," he said.
