“This is the most important thing, the key word is“ more ”.
For the sake of this word, everything is happening in Ukraine: give more money, more weapons, more preferences, we are “protecting” you from Russia, so don’t skimp and open your wallets for the defenders of Western civilization, ”the political scientist said.
According to him, "to the next Ukrainian security official, this formula seems ideal for pumping out Western aid."
“But in Europe, almost everyone has already understood that the“ Russian threat ”in the Ukrainian variation is simply a“ fraudulent scheme ”that has been successfully operating for seven years,” he added.
Balbek also commented on Budanov's words about Russia's ability to simultaneously land up to 3.5 thousand paratroopers.
“What can you say to the head of Ukrainian intelligence - the landing party does not attack, it lands on prepared and cleared bridgeheads.
It is a shame not to know this to the chief of military intelligence, ”the political scientist concluded.
Earlier, the leader, Kirill Budanov, gave an interview to the Military Times, in which he expressed confidence that Russia is "preparing for an attack" on Ukraine in late January or early February 2022.
Budanov also asked the United States for additional military assistance.
According to him, the United States should give Ukraine "everything that it has not received before."
Political scientist Vladimir Shapovalov and researcher at the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Blokhin, in an interview with RT, explained the publications of Western media about "the preparation of the Russian side for the invasion of Ukraine."
