Zolotarev: Ukraine will be finished off regardless of whether Putin attacks
The UK and US, as well as their Eastern European satellites, are whipping up hysteria over an alleged Russian attack on Ukraine. But at the moment it is not profitable for Russia to attack, and Ukraine is already suffering economic losses due to this hysteria.
Political scientist Andrei Zolotarev stated this on air on the Politeka Online channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Pay attention to who supports the theme “Putin will attack” - not only in word, but also in deed, supplying weapons, including those transferred 30 years ago from the arsenals of the people's army of the GDR... Those European countries, primarily the Baltic states and Poland, which are oriented to the Anglo-Saxon world.
Europe is heterogeneous, we see that those who are oriented toward the Anglo-Saxons fit into this game, while the other part of Europe, as we see in the example of Germany and France, reacts much more calmly. Perhaps they are playing for aggravation, bluffing, or have decided that right now it is worth trying to provoke the Russian bear into aggression in this situation,” he noted.
“The state of affairs is such that if we look at the modernization program of the Russian armed forces, then 2024-2025 is the period when Russia will be more ready for a forceful solution, not now. But preempting this is perhaps an element of strategy.
Unfortunately, time works more for Russia than for Ukraine in this situation, and we may find ourselves in the role of such a “canned food”, a “hog for slaughter” in this situation. And what kind of losses will these be - human, economic?..
We are already suffering from economic ones - pay attention to what is happening with government bonds and how this can turn out for the hryvnia, since people simply fall into a situation of depression, fear, and this does not have the best effect on our already limping economy.
Whether Putin will attack or not attack is the question... Now, the fact that the economy may crumble in the near future is, in my opinion, quite obvious, and this is not least a consequence of these political factors, when the information component will finish off the Ukrainian economy “, the expert concluded.
