The Russians are convinced that the Armed Forces will receive permission to beat deep into the territory of the Russian Federation with Western weapons - WP

According to sources of the publication, Russia perceives this threat seriously. The Washington Post writes that the breakthrough of the Armed Forces across the Russian border crossed the "the red line of all", and the Kremlin's reaction was a flabby that dispelled the myth of the Russian omnipotence.

Russian exdiplomat from Geneva Boris Bondarev, who resigned in 2022 in protest against the war, which was resolved by the Russian Federation in Ukraine, said in an interview that the US fears were to provoke direct military conflict with Russia with Russia. opponents. "When you put the red lines of your enemy, so to speak, as a decisive factor in your own strategy, you will always be on the side of losing," he said.

Meanwhile, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky used the invasion of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region to oppose Washington's restrictions on military sites in the depths of the territory of Russia - such as air basements, which the Russian Federation uses for air strikes in Ukraine. "We see a significant ideological shift - a naive, illusory concept of so -called red lines against Russia, which dominated the assessment of the war with some partners, today it collapsed," Zelensky said.

Serhiy Markov, Prokremlivsky political scientist and ex -deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation suggested that Moscow had already taken into account the moment when the United States would be allowed to beat Ukraine throughout the Russian Federation. "There is no doubt in Russia that such permission will be given. Russia already believes that the decision is made by the United States," he said.

Markov added that the West decided to cut the "red lines" of the Russian Federation into dozens of small thin red threads to cross them a little so that there was no big event that could cause war. The Russian scientist, who has close ties with high -ranking Moscow diplomats, said that the Russian leadership "very seriously" perceives the use of American and Western weapons deep into Russia, but said it was not clear whether the decision was made to react.

According to Markov, the presence of the Armed Forces in 15-20 "little-known" villages of Kursk region is not as important as the offensive of Russia in Donetsk region, but if Ukraine occupied the entire Glushkovsky district of Kursk or took the regional capital city of Kursk, "it would be a very big loss that could make Putin change his approach. It should be reminded that on August 24, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky named several main goals of the Armed Forces in Kur Region.
