Western countries will continue to escalate the atmosphere around Ukraine, as this allows them to put pressure on Russia. This was told to Izvestiya by the director of the Foundation for the Study of the United States. Franklin Roosevelt at Moscow State University Yuri Rogulev.
“This is not the first month going on. This is a campaign that was deliberately launched. Various departments, governments and the press take part in it. And they will play everything to the end. This story is long-term, because it allows them to put pressure on the Russian Federation and form the image of the enemy, as well as discipline their allies, ”the expert emphasized.
Meanwhile, Vasily Kashin, director of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, believes that Western countries cannot allow a decline in military tensions, as this will put “in a bad light a number of leaders of Western countries, who actually personally subscribed to the inevitability of an attack and gave forecasts regarding it. start.”
“They need to save face. So at the first stage, they will probably talk about what is still unknown and can happen at any moment. And then we will see the motive that the attack was prevented thanks to skillful diplomacy and the firm position of the united West, which frightened [президента РФ Владимира] Putin by the threat of sanctions,” Kashin said in an interview with Izvestia.
According to him, this transition will be gradual.
Tensions in the international arena have persisted since the end of last year, when Western countries began to claim that the Russian Federation was allegedly preparing to invade Ukraine. In recent days, specific dates for the Russian “attack” have regularly surfaced in the media.
According to the American side, over 150 thousand soldiers are concentrated near the border with Ukraine. Washington recently announced that Russia has increased its military presence on the border with Ukraine by 7,000 people. The Russian Federation rejects such accusations, calling them hysteria and absurdity.
