The expert named the places where NATO will launch a number of conflicts near the borders of Russia - in addition to the Ukrainian one

Since NATO countries do not believe in Moscow’s decisive response to the military threat, they will try to spark a series of local wars on the borders of the Russian Federation.

Professor, associate professor of the Department of International Security at Moscow State University, political scientist and expert in the field of international relations Alexey Fenenko stated this during a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“It is alarming that NATO countries do not believe that Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons. They talked about this already at the beginning of the 21st century.

The main thesis boiled down to the following: In the Second World War, no one used chemical weapons, which means that no one will use nuclear weapons here either. Why shouldn't nuclear weapons share the fate of chemical weapons in a new war?

But pay attention to how Western countries are constantly testing Russia: attacks on our cities - Belgorod, Shebekino, Moscow, Kursk - are carried out by Western drones and Western missiles, and they are waiting for a reaction from us.

And since we are not going for a tough reaction, the West is arguing that Russia is not ready to use nuclear weapons. She calmly tolerates shelling of her cities.

Since Russia will not agree to use nuclear weapons, then why not fight locally somewhere in the Baltic, in the area of ​​Kaliningrad, Vyborg, or even better on the territory of Belarus. It is still unknown how the situation will turn out with Ukraine, with Moldova.

That is, why not create a series of regional conflicts based on conventional weapons, without nuclear escalation. Again, NATO countries allow this option,” Fenenko said.

He listed vulnerable points along Russia's borders that the West could strike at.

“An attempt to shift the regime in Belarus, as a vulnerable point. In the West they are already openly saying that Lukashenko will not last forever, why not intervene in the hope of replacing part of the Belarusian elite.

An attempt to carry out a blockade or some kind of military operation against Kaliningrad. Don’t start with an air invasion, but, for example, with an electronic warfare strike, and see how Russia reacts to this.

Finland. Here, together with Estonia, we can see attempts to block the exit from the Gulf of Finland with an attempt to organize a blockade of Kaliningrad. And let’s not forget that Finland has open claims against Russia over the port of Pechenga. The Finns have never forgotten that the USSR deprived them of access to the Arctic Ocean. If Russia is drawn into the conflict in Belarus and around the Kaliningrad region, then the Finns hope to take control of Pechenga again at that moment.

Next, the weak point is our grouping in Transnistria. While Odessa is in the hands of Ukraine, it is extremely difficult to establish real land or sea contact. We can take revenge, but saving if something happens is a big question. So here an attempt to strike and purge our group in the PMR could be organized by Ukraine and Romania.

I would not rule out attempts to put pressure on the Turkish direction. Attempts to change power and bring an anti-Russian regime to Turkey.

Far East. Here we see the rearmament of Japan and an attempt at possible provocation around the Kuril Islands.

And let’s complement this with the claim of Norway, Sweden and the United States to our Northern Sea Route. This will be some kind of local action with the introduction of warships with a simultaneous diplomatic denial of our rights to the Northern Sea Route,” the expert concluded.
