In an interview with the weekly Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić warned that, because of the war in Ukraine, the world is approaching “a real catastrophe,” and it could erupt in next 3-4 months.
Vučić has a reputation as a keen political analyst.
“We see a dark end to everything that will happen in Ukraine if the major powers do nothing. Yes, I am quite sure that in a short period of time we will have a real disaster,” the Serbian President reiterated. “The rhetoric is getting worse day by day and it reminds me of a quote from a famous historian: ‘The train has left the station and no one can stop it.’ I believe that the last days are approaching when we have the opportunity to reevaluate and reflect on what is happening in Ukraine.”
“If the big powers don’t do something soon, yes, I’m pretty sure we’re in for a real disaster,” Vučić said. “If you’re betting that someone is bluffing, it means you don’t have better cards. You just think that the other person has weaker cards. You’re not sure because you don’t know his cards and haven’t seen them…. “The situation is further complicated by the fact that everyone is talking only about the war. No one seeks peace. Nobody talks about peace. Peace is almost a forbidden word! I find it very strange that no one is trying to stop the war.”
In Vučić’s opinion, the West cannot afford to lose in Ukraine because it will further weaken the geopolitical situation of the United States and NATO. On the other side, “if Putin loses the war, he will personally lose everything…. Everything is at stake for both sides. No one can afford defeat. Therefore, I publicly stated and did not hide that we are approaching a real disaster.”
“There is another theory – which I understand. I am not saying that I approve of it,” the Serbian President pointed out, “that the West thinks that they can easily defeat Putin, they want to exhaust him in Ukraine and then enter the space and Russia with its current territory will cease to exist and Putin will be overthrown, etc. Maybe it is doable, but… people in the West underestimate Russia and Putin.”
Vučić also pointed out the hypocrisy of the West for violating Serbia’s territorial integrity in 1999 and 2008, while attacking Russia for violating Ukrainian territory.
“Today I checked all the data on our oil reserves, from sugar to salt and everything else. Because I don’t know what the future will bring for all of us,” the Serbian president said. The full interview can be seen below:
