Will cut the corridor to Kaliningrad: Putin checks NATO's reaction - political scientist (video)

So far, the Russian Federation cautiously chooses goals to fall rockets or drones into NATO countries. However, he can also hit the Alliance's military sites, says political scientist Petro Oleshchuk. Despite the periodic rockets from Russia that fired Ukraine, our European neighbor cannot fully solve security problems completely, as NATO is part of the NATO structure. Poland should be resolved any decisions on such issues through consultations with its alliance partners.

Political scientist Petro Oleshchuk told this in an interview with focus. According to him, based on the experience of NATO for such incidents in the past, one should not count on something except for diplomatic concern. In the first cases, the reaction was quite acute, but now, after getting the same "shahas" into the territory of Romania, it became clear to everyone that it was necessary to think what would happen next.

"It is hard to believe that the occupiers are so badly calculating the place of blows that the rocket flew for the Ukrainian-Polish border for 25 km," the political scientist emphasizes. According to Peter Oleshchuk, the Russians deliberately carry out similar provocations to check the reaction of Poland and the Alliance as a whole. Such provocations are due to the fact that the military assistance of Ukraine was slowed down and Putin began to feel somewhat more confident.

The Russian dictator has already threatened Latvia, for the "oppression of Russian -speaking", as well as Finland, which enters NATO. The entry of such rockets or drones to NATO countries is specific steps, not just words, the political scientist notes. "At the very beginning of the Russian invasion of NATO, only assistance to Ukraine without military activity on its own side," says a specialist.

" The political scientist notes that so far Russia is choosing a trajectory so as not to hit the NATO military object and that there are no casualties among the Alliance. But next time the occupiers can further check the response of the event by hitting any settlement, and after a while, "random blows" can get NATO bases, Petro Oleshchuk notes.

"It is no secret to anyone that Putin considers" all the territories of the former USSR, and the question of the land corridor to Kaliningrad he generally considers survival, "the political scientist emphasizes. " Of course, they will punch this corridor over time, though not now when they are not now when All forces are thrown into the occupation of Ukraine. " Petro Oleshchuk suspects that the Kremlin has plans to try to perform such surgery a year.

Putin is counting on the arrival of Donald Trump, who has repeatedly declared the US possible withdrawal from NATO, or refuses to join the war with the Russian Federation, as this does not meet the interests of his country. Earlier, Focus told how experts estimated the threat of offensive in Kharkiv in January. Anonymous sources of British journalists claim that by January 7 shellings will increase, and in a week the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will go to attack on Kharkiv region.
