- According to Kasparov, Putin rejected a proposal in a conversation with Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to freeze the war along the current front because it would not remove the conflict’s causes.
- Kasparov points to Putin’s 2005 description of the Soviet Union’s collapse as the 20th century’s greatest geopolitical catastrophe and to his 2007 call for a fundamental change to Europe’s security order.
- In December 2021, Moscow demanded in writing, according to Kasparov, that NATO return militarily to its 1997 position, which would have affected Eastern European states that joined later.
- In Kasparov’s view, Ukraine thereby thwarted Putin’s broader plan; had the country collapsed, the international situation today and Poland’s security situation would be different.
That is the plan. A plan to change the world order.— Garri Kasparow, in an interview with Zero Hour, stated: "That is the plan. A plan to change the world order."
“No NATO flag over the Kremlin”: This is how Putin could lose the Ukraine war, according to Kasparov

- Kasparov does not expect a large-scale Russian invasion because, in his assessment, Putin lacks the necessary resources, but considers an armed provocation conceivable.
- He cites Daugavpils in eastern Latvia as an example, where a high share of residents are Russian-speaking; an attack there could aim to create the impression that NATO does not function.
- Kasparov points to earlier violations of NATO airspace and incidents at sea borders, while stressing that he was discussing possible future action rather than a decided attack.
- He doubts that Washington would fulfill its commitments and suspects a response could depend more on individual NATO states than on the alliance command, thereby questioning Article 5's deterrent effect.

- Washington froze new military aid in 2025 to push Kyiv toward negotiations, while Congress included $400 million by year-end compared with roughly $61 billion in an April 2024 package.
- Since Trump returned to office, the article says Washington has ended direct U.S.-funded arms deliveries and has European allies buy American weapons for Ukraine.
- The EU structured a €90 billion support loan for 2026–27, including €28.3 billion for defense capabilities and €16.7 billion in direct budget aid for 2026 alone, while the European Council approved Britain’s participation on July 22.
- Germany committed €11.5 billion for 2026, Norway’s assistance was valued at about $8 billion, and London announced £600 million for air defense, partly financed from confiscated Russian assets.
Ukraine was not our war.— Donald Trump, as cited in the Wall Street Journal article 'Ukraine’s 4-D Chess Move' describing his stance on U.S. involvement in Ukraine.
