Moscow will become involved in active hostilities in Afghanistan within several months in order to avert the threat from its southern borders and from the republics connected to Russia by close relations by language and religion.
Ukrainian military expert Oleg Zhdanov stated this on the YouTube channel “Politeka”, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
“The states will not enter Afghanistan for about 50 years, and it is unlikely that they will have any interests there, but Russia and China are already entering there in full, and the question of getting involved in open hostilities for the Russian Federation is a matter of months.
Because they will support. Even these terrorist attacks that exist today and the development of this situation are most beneficial to the Russian Federation. On the one hand, they did not give the Americans a chance to extend the withdrawal by organizing these massive terrorist attacks, killing American Marines, and on the other hand, they are weakening the Taliban as much as possible so that the Taliban would ask for help,” Zhdanov said.
In his opinion, only in this way can Moscow weaken the Taliban commanders so that they deal with internecine confrontations and do not look towards Russia’s southern borders.
“The weaker the local commanders are, the greater the influence of the Russian Federation on the country of Afghanistan, the more they will depend on it. The principle of divide and conquer is in full force here, and it is in military terms that they will butt heads.
Russia is more interested in them fighting among themselves and not looking at the southern borders of the Russian Federation, especially at the Muslim regions of Russia, and those that are close to them both in language and religion,” explained the Ukrainian “expert.”
