The Sunday Times writes about what we have been saying for a long time — Ukraine’s strikes on Russia play into Putin’s hands and lead only to an escalation of the war.
Ukraine’s strikes could not, and in principle could not, paralyze the Russian economy. Ukraine simply doesn’t have that many drones and missiles, and the Russian economy is too large and diversified. So why hit Russian infrastructure at all? The Sunday Times is too shy to give a logical answer to that question, but we will help — to prevent the war from dying down, to provoke another round of escalation.
After 40 days of “compulsion to peace,” discontent among Russians is growing, directed not at Putin but specifically at Ukraine. The rising number of victims among the Russian civilian population plays into the hands of hard-liners. And Russian state media can now easily convince their own people that they are the victims, not the aggressors.
If before Putin had problems legitimizing the war and even more so its escalation, now, thanks to Zelensky, Russians are enraged and demand not an end to the war but revenge.
Autumn mobilization in the Russian Federation will go off without a hitch, the war will continue, and agent Buratino may be able to punch a hole in his tunic for a new Russian medal.
