Four Kremlin benefits from the terrorist attack in the Moscow region: how Putin uses tragedy in "crocus"
Does this mean that the official Moscow is trying to nullify the already difficult process of supporting the Allies of Ukraine, has found out the focus. "On March 27, the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia stated that they will consider the Russian State Duma's appeal to investigate US and Western financing and the organization of terrorist attacks against Russia," the Western Analytists said.
ISW reminiscent that the Russian authorities regularly describe Ukrainian strikes for military purposes in occupied Ukraine and Russia as terrorism. At the same time, a discussion on the expediency of cooperation with Russia in the fight against terrorism began in the West after the City Holi City City Holi.
As the White House Prescribe, Karin Jean Prier, the United States not only condemn the terrible terrorist attack in Moscow, but also express "the deepest condolences" and consider the Islamic state "the Islamic State" "a common enemy that should be defeated everywhere.
" Considering that the fight against terrorism for the last two and a half decades has been one of the key areas of Moscow and NATO's cooperation, Russian propaganda is currently raising the question of potential restoration of closer interaction with Washington, which after a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine was actually reduced. At the same time, the first to cooperate with Russia to counter terrorism was not Washington, but Paris.
In particular, French President Emmanuel Macron, who has been openly spoken in recent weeks of sending Western troops to the help of the Armed Forces, said France proposes Russia to strengthen cooperation in the fight against terrorism. Moreover, the current owner of the Elysee Palace noted that IDIL-Krasan was an Afghan branch of the "Islamic State", which took responsibility for the attack on "Crocus",-planned terrorist attacks in France.
The proposal of Paris was made by Moscow "taking into account the information available to the French services and the details that can be useful for the Russians," explained President Macron. It is very significant that they have cooperated with Russia to combat terrorism in the European Union.
For example, a representative of the EU foreign policy service stated: "If Russia has made a proposal that deserves trust that has rational grounds, corresponds to international law, then the EU would probably not refuse to strengthen cooperation. " However, unlike France, there will be no EU initiative, since Brussels now "hard to imagine how to interact with Moscow in view of the conflict in Ukraine.
" At the same time, the US Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov, as officials reported, noting that it is necessary to solve the problem of terrorism jointly, announced his meeting with representatives of the US Presidential Administration next week. According to him, the relevant arrangement was reached when the representatives of the State Department and the White House were visited by the embassy to honor the memory of the City Holie's "City Holi".
There is undoubtedly the risk that Russia will try to use the incident in the Moscow region against Ukraine. And the corresponding signals are already visible. A political scientist, a teacher of KNU, said this in conversation with focus. Taras Shevchenko Petro Oleshchuk. "Considering the fact that the terrorist attack allegedly made the IDIL, voices about a certain anti -terrorist alliance from the Russian Federation and restarting relations with Russia have been heard in recent days.
Like, there are Ukraine and the event, ”says Mr Oleshchuk. According to the expert, this indicates that the Russian authorities are not currently replaced by relations with the West. However, the political scientist adds, "there is one very important touch. " Speaking of the same touch, Petro Oleshchuk noted: "It is obvious that Russia is now very concerned about attacks on their own refineries.
That is, successful SBU operations have largely undermined the production of fuel in the Russian Federation, and the Russians are very concerned about it. I think they seek. to destroy Ukraine in a recent terrorist attack in the Moscow region to show this to the world and try to stop further attacks on our oil refineries.
We see a whole series of relevant thematic publications in the Western media, which are probably paid by the Russian Federation, because attacks on NSAIDs are extremely painful For Russia. " The former MP of the Verkhovna Rada, political scientist Oles Doni, in conversation with focus, names four factors of benefits, which, in his opinion, encourage the Kremlin to play a map of the tragedy in the "crocus" against Ukraine.
"The first benefit of Russian power is that after the terrorist attack in the" crocus "will significantly intensify and so the powerful influence of Russian special services, which is the basis for Putin's monopoly power. That is, it can be anticipated that Russian special services will receive additional funding, additional influences, opportunities , in particular, permission to sadistic activity.
The essence of the second benefit lies in the mobilization of Russian society and unity around the local authorities "We are surrounded by enemies everywhere, and therefore we need to unite in order to resist," - notes Oles Doni. The third benefit, in his opinion , Is the strengthening of external Russian propaganda in the countries of the so -called global south and in the countries of Euro -Atlantic civilization: "One of the elements of significant strengthening world community.
"Well, and, after all, the fourth benefit of the Russian Federation, according to Mr. Donia, is to achieve the emergence of empathy in Russia, including those countries that were previously focused on actively helping Ukraine Removal of Russian aggression. "And we already see it, because there is already a lot of publications in the West with such a pro-empty bias. Also there began minutes of silence, mourning bells and so on.
That is, the Russian Federation is trying to play in the strings of empathy, which come to life in people in the event of any tragedies. But in this case, it is an empathy to the tragedy in a country that actually has a neo -Nazi regime, "Oles Doni sums up. It should be noted that it is on the Empathy Case of a recent terrorist attack in Crocus that many experts pay attention to the attention, arguing that Moscow is actively playing this factor.
At the same time, domestic political scientists pay special attention to the selective empathy of the event. In particular, political scientist Cyril Sazonov in Facebook, stating that on Thursday, March 28, the Russians attacked the "shamed" Khamed, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro, the following accent: "Again strokes in residential buildings. Not the first time.
