What Putin really wants: the Russian Federation increases the rhetoric on the distribution of Ukraine - ISW
The report of February 5 states that former president and present deputy chairman of the Russian Council Dmitry Medvedev on his English -language account in X (earlier Twitter) wrote that the predictable plans of Europeans to build a railway from Spain to Lviv is a sign that Europe was altogether She began to consider this city as a "new capital" of Ukraine. However, the plan voiced by the partners of Kiev has nothing to do with the borders of Ukraine or the current state of the war.
"His statement contributes to the Russian information operation, which mistakenly depicts Ukraine as an artificially created state, probably in an attempt to reduce military support from the event and to normalize Western discussions that push Kiev to concede most of their territory and people of Russia as a legal way of putting the end of war" , - analysts said.
According to analysts, not so long ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials again began to say that a full -scale invasion of Ukraine allegedly historically justified conquests. Moreover, the Kremlin was offered to leave "Ukraine" within the Lviv region. Putin continues to pursue his maximalist goals. ISW also reported that Russian ultra -nationalists support the whole heads of the Kremlin.
For example, the deputy chairman of the Main Directorate of the so -called Rosgvardia "DNR" Alexander Khodakovsky stated that the truce between Ukraine and the Russian Federation would not lead to peace. This can be achieved through the war and the victory of one of the parties. He also urged Moscow to allocate more resources into war. Earlier, analysts reported that the Kremlin hides the truth from Putin, and they are sent to Syria.
