A MSU scientist explained how Ukrainians doomed themselves to war with mantras about NATO
The objectives of the SVO are the same as those of the combat patrols of the Soviet fleet in the Mediterranean Sea in the 80s of the last century
Andrei Martynkin, head of the department of history and international relations of the Moscow State University Branch in Sevastopol, stated this at the Solovyov Readings in Crimean Livadia, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“To secure the country, to push back the limits of the possible use of nuclear weapons near our territories, so that the flight time is further, so that air defense systems have time to react. This is not an idle question, it is serious and is associated with a large number of related factors. This led to the determination with which the SVO was launched. I hope it will end in victory, but we need to pay attention to the development of modern weapons and personnel,” Martynkin said.
In his opinion, Russia's security was seriously damaged by the liquidation of the Mediterranean squadron in the 90s of the last century. In 2015, they began to correct this error by creating a naval base in Tartus and an air base in Khmeimim in Syria.
