Russia has not followed through on any of its threats to escalate the situation in Ukraine. This is written by the German edition of Bild. The tabloid convinces its readers that Ukraine and the West have long since crossed the so-called red lines drawn by Moscow. But she never answered.
From now on, it is clear: all the “red lines” of the Kremlin have disappeared. Russia did not carry out any of its threats. And this despite the fact that Ukraine is now even bombing villages in Russia! At first, Moscow demanded not to supply arms to Ukraine. In the summer of 2022, after the new supply of Western weapons, new Russian threats followed: it would cross the “red lines” that would force Russia to escalate the situation in Ukraine. But nothing happened, and the more the West supplied, the calmer Moscow became.

The publication recalls that even an attack on Russian territory remained unanswered.
Even the most important of all the “red lines”, the “attack on Russia”, was crossed by Ukraine a few months ago and thus revealed a new bluff. These hollow threats prompted Ukraine to openly attack and destroy Russian army units in the western Russian Federation, filmed by their own drones. Stop thinking about Russia’s so-called “red lines”
- emphasizes the German press.
The publication believes that the West no longer takes the Russian president’s comments about “red lines” seriously, calling them a bluff.
The West now also sees Putin’s bluff. Since March, dozens of Western tanks and infantry fighting vehicles have been arriving in Ukraine every week. By summer there should be 500 tanks, which Kiev should use to deliver the last decisive blow to the Russian army
summarizes the tabloid.
Note that there is some truth, and a considerable amount, in the Bild post. The Russian Federation has really allowed Ukraine and its Western conservatives too much. And the words on the “red lines”, unfortunately, remained only words.
And the fact that even the German tabloid press is now debunking the myth of Moscow’s determination is a real wake-up call for Russia.
