"The Moscow bell tolls for us." Putin's speech frightened the Kyiv media
Russia will strive to create a buffer zone around itself that does not pose a threat to Russian interests.
The PolitNavigator correspondent reports this, writes the Kiev online publication Zerkalo Nedeli, according to which, a probable key area of aggravation of relations between the West and the Russian Federation has been identified.
“As expected, it becomes the territory of the former USSR. The June 22 syndrome (according to Russian and other strategists, it was its size that saved the USSR in 1941; the Germans did not have time to take Moscow before winter) works: the Kremlin is persistently implementing a policy of creating a buffer territory free from threats to itself,” the report notes. article.
The author recalls the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 18 at a rally in Moscow, where he “made the territorial integrity of Russia’s neighbors dependent on the state of relations with the Russian Federation.”
“Complaints about the “unexplained reasons for the transfer of Russian territories by the Bolsheviks” and conditioning the recognition of existing borders on the behavior of neighbors with direct quotes from the Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation are a threat not only to Ukraine, but also to Belarus, Kazakhstan, even the Baltic countries,” the publication believes.
It is also noted that the short period of Russian hopes for the compliance of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has ended.
“The Russian Federation has once again become convinced that the issue is not the name of the President of Ukraine, it is the matter of modern Ukraine itself. And therefore, among all its neighbors, the leadership of the Russian Federation has recently publicly declared only Ukraine an enemy state and a “geopolitical project of Russia’s enemies.” So, first of all, the Moscow bell rings for us,” sums up the author of the publication.
As PolitNavigator reported, adviser to the head of President Zelensky’s office told what Russia can exchange for Kyiv taken by her army.
