The event decided to cut the "red lines" of the Russian Federation into tens of small threads to gradually cross them and not provoke an event that could cause a direct conflict of NATO and the Kremlin, the material is said. The offensive of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region demonstrated the event that the "red lines" of Russian President Vladimir Putin could be crossed, in particular, this applies to the use of Western weapons.

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.

"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.
