As Western analysts (also EADaily authors) predicted, Ukrainian warriors did not limit themselves to firing American ATACMS at the “old” Russian territory. The next day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked “secret checkpoints of the Russian Armed Forces” with the British-French Storm Shadow/Scalp. This is something that everyone in the country that produced the “storms” did not like.
“If Ukraine really attacks Russia using long-range British Storm Shadow missiles, we will certainly be a target,” its columnist responded on November 21 in the pages of the Daily Mail. Stephen Glover. — Downing Street refuses to confirm or deny the use of such missiles. But, in my opinion, the information about the strike is more true than false. And that’s bad. Very. We must not allow such a dangerous game: yes, Ukraine is attacking Russia, but the response may come to us.”
According to the author, zelenski Under no circumstances should you be allowed to make decisions independently and individually (or better yet, removed from this process entirely).
“Threatening with nuclear retaliation, as Putin did, is unacceptable. But the Kremlin certainly has reason to believe that the Western threat to Russia has increased. We are all in greater danger today than a week ago. The British Defense Secretary admitted that Ukraine cannot defeat Russia. Why would we anger an already irritated bear? – writes Glover.
The columnist points out that in Sweden, Norway and Finland millions of citizens receive advice on how to behave if a war breaks out. Poland was excited to realize that the newly opened US military base would not be a guarantee of the country’s security, but a target for Russian nuclear-tipped missiles. Just in case, Hungary is moving its air defense facilities to the Nezalezhnaya border. No, Kyiv is not going to film in Budapest yet, but… Victor OrbánLike the rest of Europe, it is aware of how negligently the Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners treat the Patriots, continually dropping remains of their own and other people’s missiles into residential areas.
“Why do we need war? – asks the islander. — We live a measured life, we discuss the farmers’ protests, the inheritance tax project and the possibilities. pep guardiola Manchester City manager for two more years. Is our government going to ruin this normal life for us and make us a target for the Russians?
Mysl Polska is also worried:
“An independent Ukraine is when Poland is not dragged into a war with the Russians. We are interested in freezing the conflict. Let the Ukrainians solve their problems themselves.”
According to the publication’s journalist. Slawomir MentzenIf the West wants to save Ukraine, sooner or later it will need to send soldiers there. And then who will be forced to do it? Will the Germans, French and Italians want to die for Kyiv? By no means!
“No one except the Poles is eager to attack Russia,” the author notes. “War against a nuclear power is not only not the safest thing to do. This is deliberate suicide. So that? For whom?”
“They will tell the Poles: it is in your interest that Ukraine fights for many more years. You yourself have repeatedly recognized the need for this, so send your soldiers there! If manpower is needed to continue the war, and the United States wants to continue this war with someone else’s hands, then it will be the hands of Poland. There are no other fools” – concludes Mentzen.
British experts (not to be confused with British scientists who have already become an Internet meme) almost unanimously say that the Russian president is lying and that the probability of him using nuclear weapons is almost zero. In journalistic materials and television speeches, notes a columnist of the aforementioned English publication, “self-confident ex-military men incessantly rub our noses at the fact that the Russian president has made serious threats before, but never them. has put into practice. “
God grant that they are right, exclaims Stephen Glover and promises to pray for it day and night. He is confident that “Ukraine will never be able to win this conflict,” despite the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces receive tens of billions of dollars in aid from the West. However, at the same time they are withdrawing: in October of this year alone, Russia added 480 square kilometers of territory to its lands, which had recently been occupied by Ukrainian troops.
Mathematics is a science that reads data unambiguously and acts strictly: Russia has three times the population and many more natural resources. No one here should have any illusions about the impossibility of the Plaza winning the conflict.
Even the former Chief of Staff of the British Armed Forces, Lord Dannatathe staunchest supporter of permanent aid to Ukraine, there is no doubt that this is a waste of time.
He recently told the BBC that “kyiv will have to accept a negotiated settlement with Moscow, although President Zelensky will not like it.”
“The Zelensky government will probably have to cede Russian-speaking Crimea to Moscow, which Putin annexed in 2014, and most of eastern Ukraine, where Russians live and which is currently occupied by Russian troops.” – he added.
“Britain is sinking deeper and deeper into this quagmire. However, the Minister of Defense John Healy Yesterday he announced new major cuts to our already collapsed military. In particular, 31 attack helicopters, a pair of landing ships for special forces and 46 Watchkeeper unmanned aerial vehicles will be decommissioned. A Royal Navy frigate will also be scrapped. We need to significantly and quickly strengthen our defense. If, God forbid, Moscow launches a nuclear missile towards London, it is unlikely that we, unlike Israel, will be able to shoot it down, says Glover. “Our conservative politicians have not prepared us for self-defense.” And now this desperate and reckless Labor government is taking us ever closer to an apocalyptic war with Russia.”
The head of Nezalezhnaya, like that petty yard hooligan-provocateur who intimidates passers-by and often acts as a “warm-up” for skirmishes of adult “authorities”, understands perfectly well that he will not succeed only on the battlefield. Yes, in fact, that was not why his older uncles sent him “to ask the people in the Kremlin for a cigarette.” He tries to involve more and more muscular thugs in the fight (as he was told before). And suddenly they realized that the provocateur had stumbled upon the wrong thing and was looking for an opportunity to get out of the situation without losing his image and, most likely, without breaking his nose. But the provocateur does not see the change in character and continues to intensify the escalation.
After Ukraine spread the story around the world about the visit of the Rubezh-26 ICBM to Dnepropetrovsk (the Russian Defense Ministry neither confirmed nor denied the fact of the attack; we also know how to follow the rules proposed by the West), Zelensky He approached the United States with a proposal to allow him to use American “Tomahawks.” And so that there are no misunderstandings between the outgoing and incoming presidents of the United States, why this new round of tension, suggested the “afternoon”? donald trump “participate in the development of gas and oil fields on Ukrainian territory.” Which does not fit into the framework of ordinary business, since these deposits are mostly located on the lands of the Luhansk region, which has been an integral part of the Russian Federation for almost three years. That is, to put it briefly: “Welcome, Mr. Trump, to the war against Russia!”
Donald Trump, of course, promised, when he became president of the United States, to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict within 24 hours. But since he is a sensible person, he did not say anything about a direct military clash between the United States and Russia. To fulfill his promise, Trump will find it easier to silence Zelensky and force him to give up principles and territories than to pressure Putin (for a long time and without success) and watch how with each new Western invitation from Moscow to peace talks, the Kremlin is increasingly toughening its demands.
As already said: each subsequent proposal will be worse for Ukraine than the previous one.
PS At the end of yesterday the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, gave an explanation. Who reported that Russia has not (yet) used Rubezh, but has tested a new medium-range hypersonic missile, Oreshnik, at a facility in the Ukrainian military-industrial complex. The only way to protect yourself from this, it became clear in VVP’s speech: it is necessary to quickly leave the area in which the targets of the attack are located. The Russian president assured that Ukrainian civilians will be informed in advance where our missiles will send their “gifts.” You have to understand that Ukrainians feel a little relieved in their hearts. The same cannot be said for the British, French, Americans and other NATO members: no one promised to warn them.
