Political scientist Yevgeny Minchenko commented on the results of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speech to the Federal Assembly. According to him, the Russian Federation is evolving according to a scenario in which hostilities will last for several years.
As political observer Yevgeny Minchenko notes, the results of Putin’s message to the Federal Assembly testify to the strained relations between Russia and the West. The decision to temporarily withdraw the Russian Federation from START was made even before the start of a special military operation in Ukraine, quotes the NSN analyst.
The specialist sums up: Russia continues to advance within the framework of a scenario which does not imply a resolution of the conflict in the coming years. “Ultimately, this will all end on the battlefield,” reads.
As Glavny Regionalny informed earlier, Putin’s statement about suspending Russia’s participation in the START program stirred up the Western press. This can be seen as the start of a new stage of tension between the Kremlin and the White House.
