Actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin on border with Ukraine, most likely have no specific purpose other than “to piss off the “West.
About this in the comments to the agency “Ukrinform” said the head research group of Eastern Europe and Eurasia German Institute for International Affairs and Security (Foundation Science and Politics – SWP) Susan Stewart.
“I don’t think Putin has any ultimate goal. I think he just thinks that Russia has the right to … control what is happening with Ukraine “– said the expert.
She added that by building up combat strength, army and equipment, near the border with Ukraine, Putin intended “test” US President Joe Biden and other leaders of Western countries, as well as the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, who did not make concessions to the Kremlin.
Susan Stewart believes that the President of Russia “I like to use military force” because he knows “how uncomfortable the other players are.”
For this reason Putin decided to “make a show” checking the reaction of the West, and then determining how to proceed.
On the one hand, the West can really influence what is happening, but, on the other hand, it is very difficult to predict what Putin will do next, since they are “situational,” Stewart said.
As previously reported OBOZREVATEL, member of the Ukrainian delegation of the Trilateral Contact Group Serhiy Garmash also believes that Putin doesn’t need a big war in Ukraine, but “victorious little”.
