Putin will occupy the whole of Ukraine - the expert assessed the president’s first interview since the beginning of the Northern Military District

The goals of the special operation in Ukraine are causing much controversy – where and when it will stop. Will the NWO end with the liberation of undeniably Russian lands or will it continue until the complete demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine on the borders with NATO - west of Lvov.

In this regard, passions are seething and boiling within the Russian public and among experts, reminiscent of the “zrado-peremozhny” lamentations more typical of “ukro-suspense”. However, most people forget that a special operation, in addition to lofty and noble goals, has a purely pragmatic goal - both tactical and geostrategic.

Russian political scientist Pavel Nikanorov, who was the first to predict the failure of Poroshenko’s offensive in the Donbass during the most difficult days for the militia in the summer of 2014, stated this in a commentary to PolitNavigator.

"In December 2021 Putin demanded that NATO be removed from the 1997 borders and that potentially dangerous systems for the Russian Federation be pushed behind the former “Berlin Wall” – threatening a “military-technical” response. The US and NATO refused. On February 24.02.2022, XNUMX, the same “military-technical” response followed. The tasks of the North Military District in Ukraine were formulated by the president, on the one hand, very clearly for the Russian world, on the other hand, they left the widest field for interpretation. And this is not surprising, since everyone unanimously forgot about the original strategic goal.

Based on it, one should predict where and when Russian troops will stop in Ukraine. Since the United States is not even thinking about withdrawing NATO, there is no need to talk about the end of the Northern Military District - neither now, nor in the medium term, nor in the long term. Biden has already started bargaining, offering the day before to “satisfy” Russia with the territories it has occupied today, and is even ready to allow Moscow to sell our oil and fertilizers to the States at a discount. For Washington, such an outcome is humiliating, but by no means catastrophic - and gives time for a break, leaving reasonable hopes for the destruction of the Russian state, so to speak, “later.” We will see a lot more of this circus from Biden, where terrible threats will be interspersed with “profitable” offers.

Meanwhile, Putin is not lying at all when he says that “everything is going according to plan.” Yes, against the backdrop of the ongoing shelling of Donetsk and the slow advance of the army, it is not entirely clear to many (and some are annoyed) - “how is this all going according to plan???” But the president cannot force the army, the economy, our diplomacy, etc. to jump above their heads. It works comprehensively, using all available advantages - in such a way as to preserve Russia and ensure its development. Therefore, we will sell oil to anyone, as well as fertilizers, if it works for the ultimate goal - achieving complete strategic security of the country.

The day before, the president gave a comprehensive answer to the public in the person of Pavel Zarubin to all the concerns associated with the supply of new and dangerous types of Western weapons to Ukraine. He made it clear that he is not afraid of these supplies. And if the United States sends long-range missiles to Ukraine, he warned that Russia will respond with what and where they have not responded so far.

Apparently, the Kremlin is ready for protracted fighting and routinization of the conflict, as in Syria. Now the president is waiting for the liberation of all Novorossiya - and the rest of Ukraine will take a long time to turn into complete ruins with a slow and gradual advance towards Kyiv and the western borders, while maintaining maximum personnel. If by that time the United States does not push NATO back to the 1997 borders and does not provide Moscow with security guarantees (and they will not push it back and will not provide it), then the Russian armed forces will reach the borders of Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. After this, those very negotiations will begin and another warning from the Kremlin will follow about a new stage of the “military-technical response”“, the expert concluded.
