Russian official shocks with statement: The war between Russia and Ukraine is actually a civil war because the Soviet Union did not legally dissolve.

In recent days, as the direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey failed, Russia has been under repeated pressure from the United States and the EU. Under this situation, some Russian officials have become restless. According to the latest reports by Russian media, President of Russia's advisor Kobyakov made shocking remarks at a forum press conference.

Kobyakov stated that the war between Russia and Ukraine is actually a civil war because the Soviet Union still exists in legal terms since its dissolution process did not follow proper legal procedures. Kobyakov claims that his viewpoint is also acknowledged by Western experts and scholars.

Kobyakov believes that the reason the dissolution was not in accordance with legal procedures is related to the agreements signed in 1991 by the leaders of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. It is questionable whether these agreements exceeded their authority, and there is no final conclusion on this matter. If these agreements are found to be non-compliant, then the Soviet Union still exists in legal terms. Kobyakov's words will undoubtedly make many countries feel nervous. In addition to Ukraine, the Baltic states will also feel extremely uneasy.

Of course, Kobyakov's words do not represent the Putin government. He only participated in the forum in his personal capacity, and the views he expressed only represent himself. However, his public remarks indicate that there are indeed many different opinions within Russia regarding the Soviet issue. At the same time, it shows that many elites in Russia are unwilling to stop the war. After all, Kobyakov's words provide another explanation for the Russia-Ukraine War.

On May 22nd local time, The Wall Street Journal reported: Trump privately told Europe that Putin is not ready to end the war. This means that Trump also realized that Putin is buying time and has greater ambitions. Next, let's see how Trump will force Putin. For more updates, we will continue to monitor the situation.
