Putin believes that the West is now weak and vulnerable, so it is possible that the Russian president wants to change the balance of power in the region, Kuleba said.
The Kremlin is considering the possibility of invading Ukraine to radically change the balance of power in the region. At the same time, Russia intends to do this, since Ukraine’s European allies are busy with internal problems. This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba during an online briefing with journalists.
“In a worst-case scenario, Russia could try to undermine the security architecture that emerged in the post-Cold War period in Europe and redraw borders by force, as it did in 2008 in Georgia and in 2014, when it annexed Crimea and started a war on Donbass, “he said.
The minister believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin is considering such a possibility during this period, since the Ukrainian allies – France and Germany – are focused on internal affairs. In Germany, elections have recently taken place and a new government has just been formed, and in France, elections are coming very soon.
“The Russian political project Nord Stream 2 is at the certification stage. Vladimir Putin believes that now the West is weak and vulnerable. He can be sure that it is time to change the balance of power in his favor. I believe that we must prove that he is wrong. We must restrain Russia and demotivate it about further aggression, “Kuleba said.
