Putin's Coalition: Intelligence was named the main Allies
Oleksandr Litvinenko, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, wrote about it in a column for The Economist. According to him, Russia knows that the victory over Ukraine she wants will have a global effect. In addition, the Russian Federation cannot achieve its goals without breaking the world order.
"Over the past two years, Moscow has created a coalition, whose members are North Korea and Iran, as well as a number of less openly active participants from the Global South, who hope to benefit from increasing geopolitical tensions," Litvinenko emphasizes. According to the Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, it is primarily an informal coalition, but its impact is quite noticeable.
According to him, the corresponding coalition provides political and material support for Russian aggression, supplying artillery shells, unmanned aircraft and other military equipment and technologies. At the same time, outside the military sphere, according to Litvinenko, this coalition actively focuses on the economic, cyber and information war, as well as other subversive actions in order to destabilize the world order.
He emphasizes that the Russian Federation and its allies enjoy significant privileges, using "rude power" to create a new global order, while many Western countries first seek to use "soft power" to preserve the old order that arose after the Cold War. Earlier, Sky News reported that Iran has introduced Russia with its last unmanned aerial vehicle ShahED-107, designed for effective explosive and intelligence operations. This drone can be used as a means of strikes, including Ukraine.
In addition, military viewer Denis Popovich reported that an increase in the number of missiles that could launch the Russian Federation is a challenge even for Ukrainian regions covered by Patriot and SAMP-T. DPRK missiles can complicate work for Ukraine's PRI.
