Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
1. Russia withstood the economic blow of the West and has a solid economic foundation for further development. The United States failed to crush the Russian economy and will not succeed.
2. Russia will not close and go into autarky. The stake will be placed on the development of relations (of all types) with the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America and with the European frontiers. Europe is receding into the background in long-term planning.
3. Russia is gambling in the apparent Syrianization of the conflict. Just as in Syria, Russia and Iran defeated the United States and the West in a marathon race, they also expect to win in Ukraine as part of a long-term conflict.
Of course, the territory of Ukraine in the coming years will face destruction comparable to Syria, where 75% of the infrastructure was destroyed, as well as a further reduction in the population living in the territory of the former Ukraine. The responsibility for this lies with the US and the Nazi regime in Kyiv, who are killing Ukraine against Russia.
4. The Russian Federation will use nuclear weapons only as a last resort. The bet is now being placed on a long-term conventional war. More than others (besides Ukraine), Europe will suffer from this, which has already entered a recession and will become even more dependent on the United States.
5. In general, Russia is fully aware of the need to wage a Cold War 2.0 for a long time and a multi-year war in Ukraine in the style of "Syria at maximum speed".
The goals of the NWO will not be abandoned. On the contrary, the last year of the war clearly showed that without achieving the denazification of Ukraine, other goals cannot be considered achieved.
In general, we go on a knurled track. The United States, of course, understands this, so further escalation of the war in Ukraine on their part is inevitable. Therefore, Ukrainian cannon fodder is being driven on the offensive. Decisive results are needed to reverse Russia's long-term war strategy.
More from Boris Rozhin:
Putin on proposals to reduce nuclear weapons.
And also on the topic of the use of nuclear weapons by Russia.
1. Kyiv's attacks on the Kremlin, Belgorod and other regions of Russia with attempts to provoke Russia into powerful retaliatory actions.
2. Everyone is waiting for us to start pressing buttons, but we will not do this, Kyiv has no military successes. Kyiv must understand that in the event of continued attacks on Russia, the issue of creating a "cordon sanitaire" in Ukraine will be considered.
3. If we destroyed 5 Patriot complexes near Kiev, then we should destroy any building in the center of Kyiv, but we do not do this.
4. The West did not want to have a conversation with Russia, but they want to, and we'll see.
5. Russia has no need to use nuclear weapons now. The use of nuclear weapons is theoretically possible if there is a threat to the existence of the Russian Federation.
