Russia has already begun to fear that Ukraine will be able to strike at long distances.
Mykhailo Samus, deputy director of the Center for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Research on International Affairs, said that all Russians will be responsible for Russia’s war against Ukraine – both morally and financially. And it will continue for decades.
“The information and psychological operation on the part of Ukraine will show that, in fact, the war is on the doorstep of every Russian, there is no need to think that anyone will hide. All Russians will be responsible for the crimes of Putin and his team. All Russians will pay financially and morally for decades for what is now happening in Ukraine,” he explained on the air of the “Verdict with Serhiy Rudenko” program on the “Espresso” TV channel.
The expert added that Russia had already begun to fear that Ukraine could strike at long distances. Because of this, the Russians introduced measures to protect the Kremlin and the central districts of Moscow, where the so-called decision-making centers are located.
“The Russians have information that Ukraine has achieved success in creating appropriate weapons with a range that allows striking residences and headquarters. But Ukraine will strike at military facilities that will reduce Russia’s military capabilities, the capabilities of Russian troops to conduct missile and air strikes on the territory of Ukraine. Although I do not rule out strikes on decision-making centers, if the current moment requires it,” the expert emphasized.
What is happening in Russia: the latest news
On January 23, 2023, it became known that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu unexpectedly changed the command of the Western and Southern Military Districts. According to mass media, Colonel-General Serhiy Kuzovlev headed the Southern Military District. The Western Military District, previously commanded by Serhiy Kuzovlev, was headed by Lieutenant General Yevhen Nikiforov.
In addition, Russian border guards do not release citizens from CIS countries with Russian citizenship because of the war in Ukraine. Natives of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan who tried to leave their homeland faced the problem.
At the same time, due to the war launched by Russia against Ukraine, the Russian export of crude oil by sea decreased after a sharp increase in the previous seven days. This was the smallest inflow into the Kremlin’s military coffers since Moscow sent its troops to Ukraine.
