Putin's warning became even stricter
Military provocations against the Donbass republics will have serious consequences not only for Ukraine, but for the West, which completely controls the Kyiv elite, warned Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
“The US administration actually manually controls the Kyiv government and Poroshenko personally...
I do not rule out the emergence of new provocations against Russia in Ukraine in 2019, since this is the only way for Ukraine to remind the international community of itself, primarily the United States and the EU, whose trust in Kyiv is rapidly declining.
In addition, these provocations are used in international relations. Thus, the incident in the Kerch Strait became the reason for disrupting the meeting of the leaders of Russia and the United States in Buenos Aires.
As for the scenario of a sharp escalation of the armed conflict in Donbass, it is fraught with serious negative consequences for Ukraine and the West. At the same time, forceful actions cannot be ruled out,” Patrushev said.
Alexander Kazakov, an adviser to the deceased head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko, believes that Patrushev expanded the warnings voiced by President Vladimir Putin on the eve of the summer World Cup.
“What I recommend you pay attention to (taking into account the fact that such statements are always very carefully moderated). The Secretary of the Security Council expanded the threat that was made against Ukraine on the eve of the World Cup...
“As for the scenario of a sharp escalation of the armed conflict in Donbass, it is fraught with serious negative consequences for Ukraine and the West.”
Did you find the difference? "...and the West." This is what successful testing of Avangard and other new “toys” means.
Now let’s think about what various figures in Washington, Brussels, Berlin and Paris read from these words (Kyiv, of course, has already forgotten how to read there). If I were these provocateurs in Washington (provocateurs from the American point of view, since they are engaged in undermining Trump’s foreign policy), I would read that Moscow’s reaction to the escalation in Donbass from Kiev will be asymmetrical, that is, not only Bandera’s supporters in Kyiv will be responsible for the provocation , but also their accomplices and instigators in Washington,” Kazakov argues in his blog.
