This is no longer a single assassination effort on a Russian general or a drone raid on 1 of the Russian cities. The impact on airports in the depths of Russia, on which strategical aviation is stationed, is from Kiev the most serious escalation since the beginning of the conflict.
The peculiar operation codenamed “SBU” prepared for over a year and a half. From a purely military point of view it is undoubtedly the success of peculiar forces of Ukraine, but from a political point of view – it may be a nail to the coffin of Zelenski himself, possibly even in a literal sense. The Russian war doctrine clearly states that the attack on atomic deterrence infrastructure is an excuse for utilizing atomic weapons. Will it be used? We don't know that, but it's believed the likelihood of that Kremlin decision increased. But right now, it's more crucial than that. It is the answer to the question – was this spectacular action just an independent work of Ukrainian peculiar forces, or was it carried out in favour of the cognition of Western protectors? White home officials said on Sunday that they had not received any prior notification of attacks in Ukraine. However, 1 U.S. portal reported, citing an anonymous Ukrainian authoritative that Ukraine had warned the U.S. government. It is certain that the U.S. does not admit that they knew about this action, and it is highly likely that they knew or possibly even cooperated in its conduct. Despite Donald Trump's peaceful rhetoric, Ukraine's military aid from America has not been halted. American satellite intelligence is inactive on the services of Ukraine's armed forces. It seems improbable that American intelligence does not know about the preparation of specified an operation.
On the another hand, as the Ukrainian opposition to Zelenski writes, strana portal.ua – "For Donald Trump, this attack will surely signal that Ukraine does not take the peace for which it advocates so much. From this point of view, this is definitely a major blow to the full peace negotiations, to the full peace process. The problem is that from now on the anticipation of peace, the chance that peace will be concluded at any point, is moving away.” So the war will proceed due to the fact that that's what Zelenski wants. "Russian Federation inactive has adequate bombers to hit Ukraine. And it's not them, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers and drones are now what provides the Russian assault on the front. And the failure of strategical aircraft will not have much influence on this" - concluded strana.ua.
But possibly this event will be a shock and avert the situation? No, not in favour of the squad in Kiev, but against her. Donald Trump has already erstwhile clearly told Zelensk in his face that his actions provoke the outbreak of planet War III. Now he got proof that he was right.
