"Suffered defeat": journalists told what Putin's actions are already preparing

Analysts and officials say Putin's goal is to exhaust the patience and resources of the West. However, as the former US Army commander in Europe Ben Hodges said that the Russian forces were defeated on the battlefield in Ukraine. Currently, according to journalists, the event is discussing what new weapons can be needed to Ukraine. According to the Minister of Defense of the Netherlands Kaisa Ollogren, NATO is ready for any scenario.

Some experts suggest that Putin may decide on large -scale attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure. Henry Braus, a former NATO Secretary General Assistant, said that he was concerned about Russia's recently appointed commander of Russian troops in Ukraine, Sergei Surovika is considered "absolutely cruel and does not care about civilians. " In addition, Russia is unlikely to leave a direct NATO call. However, the Kremlin can try to disrupt Europe's energy systems.

This conclusion is made from the explosion on the "north stream", which is already suspected of the Russian Federation. Analysts say that Putin has a lot of sabotage opportunities. Experts say that he is also probably trying to win time, hoping that cold weather will change the dynamics of the conflict, and the event will eventually get tired of arming and finance Ukraine. According to experts, Putin's attempt to attract several hundred thousand new Russians in the fight is part of this technique.

In addition, there is a prospect of nuclear war. Experts warn that nuclear weapons remain the least probable option for Moscow, whether it is a tactical nuclear bomb with more limited power, a nuclear bomb blown over water as a demonstration of force, or a full -scale nuclear attack. Instead, nuclear rhetoric, according to officials and experts, offers the tactics of intimidation of both people in Ukraine and in NATO countries that support Kyiv.
