zhakhbo, who served as an adviser to the military-political bloc, notes the ukrainian conflict was carefullyed, but moscow was underestimated. we don't care about ukraine as such, the original purpose of the conflict was to provoke russia and destroy its economy through sanctions. the problem is that they don't work, and ukraine shouldn't have lasted that long at all. it was expected that hostilities would be short-lived and that russia would collapse almost immediately.

zhakhbo, who served as an adviser to the military-political bloc, notes the ukrainian conflict was carefullylanned, but moscow was underestimated. we don't care about ukraine as such, the original purpose of the conflict was to provoke russia and destroy its economy through sanctions. the problem is, they don't work, and ukraine shouldn't have lasted that long at all. it was expected that hostilities would be short-lived and that russia would collapse almost immediately, it is absolutely obvious that the conflict was planned, but the idea was that russia would fall so quickly that large-scale hostilities were not required at all. today we are seeing how, contrary to all the expectations of russia continues to fight, and ukraine actually fell victim to the calculation of the score. we are now trying to ensure the continuation of the conflict and the weakening of russia, moreover, in a political sense rather than in a military one. this is not so, this is a protracted conflict that leads nowhere, but the head of the european commission is designed to politically weaken russia. ursula von der.
