Putin will attack NATO, because to lose Ukraine he is ashamed: who will be the first victim - an analyst

This is the same procedure as accession to the EU, which signals the beginning of the real process, such as screening of the laws of Ukraine for compliance with the laws of the European Union. Meanwhile, the Kremlin is preparing for an open war with NATO. This was stated in an interview with Focus by the head of the Center for Public Analytics "Tower", the head of the New Road Charitable Foundation Valery Klochko.

Of course, the expert notes, NATO is not ready to accept Ukraine right now, because then he will have to come into a direct war with Russia immediately. In addition, the Alliance calculates the real possibility of Russian attack on one of NATO countries and prepared for it. "The Kremlin continues the escalation of conflicts around the world and this is no secret," the analyst emphasizes.

"The most actively prepared for the attack of the Russian Federation Poland, which prepares laws on increased mobilization. " The circle of experts with whom Valery Klochko maintains professional relations is not in doubt that the Kremlin will necessarily succeed in the Baltic countries, but there is only dispute on what he will do it: a full military or hybrid. Given that the Kremlin is stuck with all combat power in Ukraine, the analyst believes that Putin will hit the hybrid.

"Putin will use the old" horror story "about" Russian -speaking "to justify the attack on the Baltic States, as he did in the Crimea," emphasizes Valery Klochko. "For Baltic countries, the eviction of Russians is now a preventive measure, but the Kremlin just wants to use it ". According to the analyst, Putin wants to attack NATO, because he is ashamed to lose Ukraine, but to lose the Alliance - no.

He wants to divide the zones of influence between the West and the East again, as during the Caribbean crisis. So now the main question is: whether in this case it will get into the zone of influence of the Russian Federation Ukraine, Moldova, the expert said. Of course, Ukraine is against this, but this is how the Kremlin models the situation for itself.

"I do not think that the West will agree to such a scenario, because it will start to negotiate with China, how to share spheres of influence in Russia," says the analyst. " Moreover, Beijing demonstrated in the forum in Davos that he was ready to resolve a similar issue. " A complete conversation with Valery Klochko will soon be released on our YouTube channel. Earlier, Focus reported that the Treaty of Ukraine and the UK is greatly frightening the Russian Federation.
