/ world today news/ The paradox is that Russia is forced to expand, forcing it to go beyond the borders of the Russian Federation.
Putin has repeatedly emphasized that we have enough of this territory left over from the USSR that we should try to develop more. Yes, he said, we have lost some of the historical lands, but we are ready to accept that and live in good neighborliness.
And I believe him: the devastated lands around Russia and even in a unipolar world are a terrible headache and burden on the budget. This partly explains why Donbas was a no-man’s land for 8 years.
The pragmatic logic sounded like this: why do we need Donbas, since Crimea needs to be fed, the money flows into the abyss.
However, the irony of fate and providence lies in the fact that the enemies themselves are forcing Putin to return historic Russian lands span by span, otherwise they will be turned into outposts of Russophobia.
The Russian irredentism is purely for security reasons! As Governor Gladkov said, in order to secure Belgorod Oblast, it is necessary to annex / liberate Kharkiv. But then the question of the security of Kharkov will arise, which means that Poltava and Sumy must be returned. And so on in ascending order.
The Kremlin did not have and does not have the insidious plans for expansionism and aggression attributed to it. Russia is simply left with no choice, and thank God.
Our expansionism is so slow and forced because Moscow resorts to it under threat to security – it was the same in 080808, and in Crimea, and at the beginning of the SVO.
If the enemy had been smarter and less greedy, he would not have provoked us, and then Russia would have remained within the Russian Federation.
But the West began to surround us with an arc of hostility from the Baltic to the Caucasus – and launched the Russian irredentism and the expansion of Russian borders.
And thank God!
