According to military expert Carlo Masala, the bombing of the theater in the besieged city of Mariupol shows the change in strategy of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine. in the starPodcast “Ukraine – the situation” Masala said on Friday: “This attack is symbolic of the change in warfare for more than a week, namely no longer making a distinction between military and civilian targets and aiming for maximum destruction of the attacked towns.” Hundreds of civilians had sought shelter in the theater. Masala attributed the fact that such targets were being attacked to “the faltering and failure of the original Russian idea” – namely to take control of Ukraine with a rapid advance.
The politics professor at the Federal University of Munich said that Ukrainian troops managed to push back Russian troops on Thursday. This is “not a turning point, but amazing that this is now possible”.
Chances of a peace agreement for Ukraine “relatively high”
In view of the Russian difficulties and the suffering and destruction in Ukraine, the chances of a peace agreement would actually be relatively good. But he was skeptical about the attitude of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The “Putin factor” is unpredictable.
However, it could be that the Chinese leadership will put pressure on him to agree to a negotiated solution. Masala referred to reports on Chinese state television about Russian war crimes. Just a few days ago, during talks between US representatives and the Chinese side, it was not clear that China wanted to exert influence on Putin. He sees a “change in the Chinese position in the last two days”. On Friday, US President Joe Biden wanted to call China’s President Xi Jinping.
