⚡️ Self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko suggested that Belarusian troops may have to fight for Western Ukraine so that it “is not taken away by the West.”
“They will come in from Western Ukraine or somewhere else. Perhaps, we will have to fight for Western Ukraine so that it won’t be taken by the West. Because it is like death for us, not only for Ukrainians. Terrible processes are going on around us,” Lukashenko said.
Henry Kissinger, in an interview with the Berggruen Institute (questions were asked by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt), clarified his sensational remarks in Davos when he was accused of calling for territorial concessions to Russia.
According to him, he had in mind a return to the state of affairs on February 24, since the recognition of Russian acquisitions from that moment on would be a reward for aggression. But the issue of Crimea is another topic of negotiations.
More interesting is Kissinger’s other remark: in his opinion, Russia has already suffered a strategic defeat, since Russian military operations have demonstrated a qualitative change in the balance of power in Europe.
Kissinger also believes that Xi Jinping, who supported Putin, made a big mistake because he counted on a quick victory for Russia. And now this support is to the detriment of China. Kissinger does not believe in long-term strategic cooperation between Russia and China.
❗️ Russia has a plan for the war in Ukraine for 120 days, and its further adjustments will depend on success in the east, Vadym Skibitsky, spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry, said.
“We have confirmed the information that the Russians have a plan for 120 days of the war. Further adjustment of this plan will depend on how successful the enemy is or, on the contrary, will be defeated in the east of Ukraine. However, the goal of the so-called “special military operation,” which Putin announced at the beginning of the war, was never achieved by the Russians,” Skibitsky said.
❌ Putin signed laws on non-execution of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in the Russian Federation.
