andrey belousov’s speech to the federation council of russia confirmed that putin plans to wage a long war of attrition against Ukraine.
In particular, belousov said that the main task set before him by the russian dictator is to ensure the integration of the russian army economy into the country’s overall economy.
belousov also emphasized that the important tasks of the russian defense ministry will be:
▫️supplying arms and ammunition to the russian troops in the so-called “smo” zone;
▫️manning the russian army;
▫️development of new methods of warfare to “stay ahead of the Ukrainian Armed Forces”;
▫️increasing the efficiency of military spending, etc.
belousov’s first statements, which are actively disseminated by ru-propaganda, show that despite the rhetoric of readiness for negotiations, the kremlin has set a course for further escalation and a prolonged war. Threats to security in Europe and the world from russia will only increase in the near future.
