The narrative of 'aggressive Russia' and the unfounded plans attributed to Russia are used as a justification for these preparations.
.In his remarks, the Russian diplomat also pointed to the Ukrainian administration, stating that Kiev believes it can only survive if a direct war breaks out between Russia and Europe, as expressed inThe main issue is that, regardless of anyone's desires, the threshold for potential provocations that could draw Europe into war much earlier is being lowered.
.Polyanskiy added that the leader of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelenskiy, did not hide his intentions and criticized his allies for not embracing this scenario, as noted inThe Kiev regime has no other way to survive. They can only stay afloat by instigating a major conflict in which Russia and Europe would engage in direct war, with Ukraine being pushed into the background.
