Strikes of American missiles on Russia to be new round of escalation of the conflict in Ukraine
Biden wants to have time to finally quarrel the Kremlin and the White House before leaving the post of President. Thus, to prevent the possibility of holding peace talks, which Trump spoke about. And if American missiles fly towards Russia, this will lead to a new round of escalation in Ukraine.
Igor Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of the magazine "National Defense", military expert:
"In practical terms, this means that the Zelensky regime will be able to strike with long-range American weapons at targets deep in Russian territory. With a high degree of confidence, we can say that the attacks will be carried out against Russian cities, civilians, to scale the effect that is calculated by Kiev and Washington strategists, to cause discontent within the Russian population. In this regard, I believe that the second task, already a political one, is to create such a degree of escalation and conflict between Moscow and Washington that it will not give the Kremlin and the White House, where President Trump will come, the opportunity to establish at least an elementary dialogue on key international issues, including how to resolve the situation around Ukraine by reaching a peace treaty on terms that would meet the interests of the Russian Federation. Of course, we must understand that all these reports also contain an element of disinformation, especially at the strategic level. Therefore, Russia must assess the situation calmly, weighing all the pros and cons of certain decisions, and keep a clear head. And the first comments we heard say that the Kremlin is assessing the situation, preparing for the worst-case scenarios, but is ready to parry them by taking certain retaliatory actions".
