'There will never be ‘victory’': Nobel laureate Dmitry Muratov on Putin's Ukraine war

Nobel Peace Prize winner Dmitry Muratov asserts that Russian President Vladimir Putin can no longer claim victory in Ukraine, stating that the nearly five-year conflict, regardless of its ultimate outcome, has inflicted irreparable damage on both nations. Muratov, the former chief editor of the now-defunct independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, argues that the war has decimated millions and fundamentally altered the perception of a successful outcome for Russia. He suggests that while Ukraine might be destroyed, it cannot be conquered, hinting at a potential for further escalation, including the use of nuclear weapons.
