Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger believes war in Ukraine may be approaching tipping point. He predicts real negotiations towards the end of the year..

“Now that China has entered into negotiations, I think they will come to a head by the end of the year,” he said.. “We will talk about negotiation processes and even real negotiations (between Ukraine and the Russian Federation - ed.. ),” he said in an interview with CBS News..

Kissinger also assessed the threat from China. According to him, if China tries to take over Taiwan by military force, the US will defend Taiwan, which could escalate into an all-out war between the two countries..

“So we have a problem,” Kissinger said, “which could escalate into an all-out war between two high-tech countries.. This is something that needs urgent attention. This is a very dangerous period,” added the former US Secretary of State.

At the same time, Kissinger noted that a positive result of American policy is that for 75 years no enemy has used nuclear weapons..
