Russia's invasion of Ukraine was Putin's strategic failure — US Ambassador Brzezinski

This was reported by CNN.

"What's changed in the last week is that NATO has expanded in a way that just emphasizes the strategic failure of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's decision to invade Ukraine... What we are seeing is an amplified total failure on the part of Putin regarding his decision to invade poor, weaker Ukraine. And there is no way, no way, Putin's war in Ukraine has improved the lives and the futures of the Russian people," Brzezinski said.

Also responding to a question about whether any peace talks are underway, Brzezinski said that every minute of every day, the American government is ready to advance on the path of diplomacy. However, Russia is advancing through aggression. 

He also noted that the United States is committed to a lasting peace that includes the full recovery of Ukraine and its entry into the Western institutional orbit. In addition, according to Brzezinski, the majority of US lawmakers are still in favor of the idea of ​​providing aid to Ukraine and showing solidarity.
