Russia has yet to impose real sanctions on Ukraine despite its antics, but that could change now.
Israeli military expert, ex-head of the Ntativ intelligence service, Yakov Kedmi, stated this on the Vesti FM radio station, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Kedmi, the West's disagreement with Russian security requirements could lead to the fact that they will come to the second round of negotiations with “broken legs.”
“If the tactics of the Americans and Europeans in understanding Russia are seven troubles, one answer. Whether you put pressure on Ukraine or not, you don’t put pressure on Ukraine—Russia hasn’t used anything against Ukraine since ’14. It continues to provide it with fuel, continues to pass Ukrainian goods through its territory and into Ukraine. Russia did not take any anti-Ukrainian actions, despite all the rudeness, all the bullying, all the provocations. She even tolerated, without reacting, the barbaric and vile shelling of Donbass,” the expert noted.
“Russia’s patience is probably running out. It is practically over in relation to the United States, and in relation to NATO, and in relation to all their pawns and mongrels who have attached themselves to them. Therefore, the situation is likely leading to a second round of negotiations or a second round of conflict, when both Europeans and Americans will come to negotiations with broken legs, arms and bandages,” Kedmi said.
