On February 10, which coincided with the start of the russian-Belarusian exercise “Allied Resolve 2022,” russia was supposed to invade Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then Bloomberg reported, citing sources among U.S. officials, that russia’s new aggression against Ukraine could begin on February 15-16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russian media and pro-russian resources in Ukraine actively spread the narrative that the general panic and escalation of the situation was a special operation by the United States, which allegedly had long wanted an open war with russia and had finally found the territory and hands to deal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to some Ukrainian analysts, the goal of this special operation is to push russian president vladimir putin out of Europe and make it impossible to create a single Eurasian space “from Vladivostok to Lisbon.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The objectives of this special operation are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Mobilization of NATO countries and restoration of the unity of the Alliance and the West as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Demoralization of the russian military and political elites through public exposure of their secret plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we hear about an imminent invasion, we must clearly understand that this is not a provocation, manipulation, or intimidation, but rather an exposure of possible plans and the prevention of their implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The United States wants to force putin to stop playing hybrid wars and make the final choice: either to dare a large-scale invasion or to finally retreat and lock down inside his own country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, Washington and London are taking every measure to make a possible invasion an economic and military disaster for russia, and to make putin’s choice obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, like every special operation, this one also carries risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Ukraine, these are significant economic losses due to the outflow of investors and panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, these losses are much smaller than those we could suffer in the event of a large-scale military invasion. And we can reduce these losses ourselves by stopping panicking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no need to panic even if putin tries to escape the American trap and still orders an invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ukrainian army is ready to give the russians a decisive pushback, and the sanctions response from the West will quickly destroy the russian economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
