CCD: By attacking Kyiv and the Kyiv region, Russia sends a signal to the USA

Of course, Putin intentionally attacked after the call with Trump. By attacking Kyiv and the Kyiv region, Russia is sending a signal to the USA that sounds something like: don’t interfere and don’t help Ukraine. Putin still wants the whole of Ukraine to be within the RF’s sphere of influence. He is trying to achieve this through strikes on the rear because he cannot solve the assigned tasks at the front," - writes the head of the CCD Andriy Kovalenko. writes.

Of course, this will not happen. However, the paradigm of the Russians is exactly that—they want the USA not to interfere in the events in Europe. Moreover, Putin desires a situation where American weapons do not protect Europe, and he receives people and weapons from North Korea, produces his own, and has Chinese technologies. Under such circumstances, the consequences will be an advance on the Baltics, which I constantly mention.

China’s position that Russia "cannot lose" actually places the Western world before a choice: to continue pretending that diplomacy without pressure can miraculously work and that Moscow can be "torn away from Beijing," or finally understand that in this case, this rain is here to stay, and it’s necessary to push the war as far as possible into Russia and closer to China than to Europe.

NATO should not be exclusively a defensive alliance. Reality demands transformation into an offensive alliance. Russia, as an instrument of aggression, must be politically or physically destroyed—the integrity of this entity in its current form practically guarantees war in Europe. Thoughts that everything can be contained in the capsule of the war between the RF and Ukraine by providing us with arms (far from the amount needed, let’s be honest) are erroneous and only lead to a loss of time. They have already led to the presence of North Korean troops in Europe—a threat that did not exist even during the Cold War.

Simply put, the formula is as follows: weapons for Ukraine, transforming NATO into an offensive alliance, and beginning proactive actions, economic strikes on Russia and its allies. Otherwise, it will still have to be done, but the front might be somewhere in the area of the Baltics, near the borders with Poland, parallel to the war in Ukraine, if the current policy continues. We, of course, will still hold back Russia here. But the Baltics—no," Kovalenko concluded.
