Even if Washington is optimistic that on Tuesday there are constructive results in the conversations between the US and Ukraine in Saudi -Arabia and a few steps are taken in the direction of the ceasefire -the Federal Army expert Brigadier Roland Vartok dampens hope.
“Vladimir Putin is currently not interested in a cease -the fire,” said the head of defense leadership management and international relationships in the Ministry of Defense. For the hybrid warfare of Russia, he noted: “We are already in the state of war.”
On the Russian state of television there are constant threats of Russian nuclear attacks on European cities, so that the pressure on the population in Europe must be increased to express themselves against arms supplies to Ukraine. Moreover, Russia specifically releases migration to Europe, in which migrants were specifically brought to the border of Wit -Russia and Poland, Vartok remained on Monday evening in a discussion of the Austria Institute for Security Policy in Vienna. Putin also does not take care of the high losses, but rather leaving Russian soldiers would be killed specifically.
Targeted attacks on the Ukrainian infrastructure should not only make the weir to break from the Ukrainians, but also make cities and villages uninhabitable. This in turn could cause further waves from refugees to Western Europe. “Putin has strategic patience and regards Europeans as weak,” said the Bundesher Brigadier. Although the Ukrainians are tired of war, they knew “there is no option to be open to them, except to fight.”
“Western states flown”
Western influence would be reduced where possible. For example, Putin succeeded in the Sahel zone, where all Western states had flown “upright from the region”. Moreover, the Russian president is strongly interested in undermining Western cohesion, the best way to do this is due to the principle of unanimity in the field of foreign policy in the European Union by Russia-friendly governments in EU countries.
Peace is currently hardly foreseeable, says Vartok, because Putin is currently not interested in a cease -the fire. Negotiations without Ukraine also increased to a dictation peace that Putin would only use as a breathing to attack again within six months. Given these dark predictions, Vartok considers the defense package of 800 billion euros that have been set by the EU too small.
Ex-osze Special Envoy: “No guarantee”
The former special envoy of OSCE, Martin Sajdik, emphasized that there was no guarantee that Russia will no longer attack the neighboring country, even if there should be a peace agreement. In this respect, Ukraine is already a “burnt child”. Ukraine on the Memorandum of Budapest of 1994 was guaranteed that the boundaries were invulnerable if all nuclear weapons were transferred to Russia in exchange. Well, the nuclear weapons have disappeared, but the Russians are there.
