Speaking to Aasmah Mir on Times Radio Breakfast, Russian chess grandmaster & dissident Garry Kasparov said that the war in Ukraine will go worse and that the West is at war with Russia.
“After Putin failed to win the war in two or three days as he planned, so he shifted to the strategy he knew best so destroying the country, levelling the cities, and spreading his campaign of terror,” he said.
He added: “The question now that remains open, at what point NATO and America that is a leading force in NATO, will recognise the simple fact we are at war with Russia, whether we like it or not, and this war has been declared on us by Putin.
“Were fighting a war by other means. economic, political, technological, but its a war and Putin kept repeating: its not just the war on Ukraine, its war against NATO, its a war to redesign the world in his vision, which is, you know, back to medieval times.”
