It’s cheaper for Russia to disrupt Ukraine’s entry into NATO than to spend billions on defense later, - political scientist
Kyiv, September 08 (PolitNavigator, Yuri Kovalchuk) – It is cheaper for Russia to disrupt Ukraine’s entry into NATO than to then spend billions on neutralizing the alliance’s bases near Belgorod and Rostov.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov stated this on the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

“There was a buffer zone around the USSR. Now the Russian Federation has no allies, and if it loses Ukraine, it will also lose its buffer zone. This was the importance of Ukraine for the Russian Federation. So, they say that it doesn’t matter if a NATO base is placed near Kharkov. Allegedly, we will move the capital to Krasnoyarsk. Of course, if you save the capital, save the officials, this, of course, will solve the problem for some time. But we have to solve the problem of people, and this is not safe for them.
So the appearance of such bases means hundreds of billions of dollars for the Russian Federation to neutralize these bases.
By the way, regarding the blocs, I want to say that you don’t need to feed your allies, as the USSR did, but you still need to use them, as the United States does, which circulates the dollar within the economies of its allies,” Kornilov said.
