  • A former US general told Insider that Putin will likely have to end his war against Ukraine.

  • Kevin Ryan said that the reason was not because he wanted to stop his military operation, but because he had no choice.

  • Ryan said that Putin has reached the capacity of what his military can do for him.

A scenario that could happen within weeks after Russian forces have sustained heavy losses is what a former US general and Russia specialist told Insider.

Kevin Ryan, a retired US Army brigadier general, believes that this is the most likely scenario in which Putin fails to accomplish his main military goals.

Ryan, who served as Defense Attach to Russia for the US, told Insider on Thursday that Putin will have to stop his war in Ukraine sooner or later.

Ryan said that the reason was not because he wanted to stop his military operation, but because he had no choice.

Since Russia launched its attack in late February, the Ukrainians have been greatly outnumbered and outgunned, but they have managed to put up a fierce resistance, resulting in a mounting Russian death.

The Institute for Study of War found that Ukrainian forces have forced Russian troops into defensive positions while Putin's forces have continued to settle in for a long and stalemated conflict.

Ryan said the Russian army has a huge personnel problem.

There is no military unit left outside of Russia. He said that there is almost no part of the Russian military that is not committed to Ukraine, so if Putin has to escalate, how does he escalate?

Ryan said it would be impossible for Russia to take control of all of Ukraine.

Ryan said that the Russian leadership underestimated what their military was capable of.

Ryan said that the Ukrainian people had prevented an overthrow of their government and a seizure of their land.

Russian troops have surrounded and bombarded several towns across the eastern European country, hitting multiple civilian targets, including residential buildings, hospitals, and a theater.

According to British intelligence, the Ukrainians re-occupied some areas they lost in the war around the capital city of Kyiv.

Ryan, a senior fellow at Harvard's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, said that he believes there will be an increase in violence by Russian forces in the near future.

Ryan said that Putin can increase the violence and do more damage.

Ryan said that he could try to find and destroy the Ukrainian military, which is smaller than his.

He said that they are fully committed to doing what they are now.

Ryan noted that the potential halt of the war in Ukraine doesn't necessarily mean a halt in violence.

Ryan said that violence can continue even during the time of negotiations between the sides, until Putin gets enough concessions from the West.

Ryan thinks that Putin would want to stay in that kind of land until he gets enough concessions.

The threat would be that.
