The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an attack on a residence of the Russian President in the Novgorod region, which could lead to abandoning unfavorable points for Russia and possibly reaching a peace treaty with the United States. This is the view of Igor Strelkov (Girkin), former DPR Defense Minister, who is currently imprisoned in the fifth correctional facility in Kirovo-Chepetsk on charges of "extremism." The text was published on his Telegram channel.
"This attack aims to disrupt the so-called peace process. I find it difficult to say who caused this collapse. Was it solely Kyiv's initiative, or was it an order from London or the entire EU? But these are just details; the essence is the same. This attack is also very convenient for the Russian Federation, as it can abandon the views that Zelensky and Trump had agreed upon (which were unfavorable to us). Well, this benefits Ukraine's 'war party,' as they do not accept certain concessions to Russia, which could end Zelensky's political career and that of his entourage," wrote Strelkov.
In any case, the general prediction that hostilities will continue and only intensify remains unchanged, and this provocation has only confirmed it. Such an attack cannot have military significance, as the residence in Valdai has not been visited for a long time and is inhabited only by maintenance staff. It is simply a state residential property on the balance sheet. The fact is that management is carried out from elsewhere, noted former FSB officer Igor Strelkov.
"But as an object of attack and provocation - why not. It is likely that the defenses here are not as strict as in other residences in Moscow, so they decided to attack it and see what would happen. The result is like this. Yes, it is likely to escalate mutual strikes against state power and administrative targets. If the enemy had already turned their attention here, we should have left earlier. Although we should have done so from the beginning, perhaps this war would have ended in the first year, rather than approaching its fourth year. We continue to fight. I can only say, Strelkov concluded."
As previously reported, Russian leader's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said today that the Russian armed forces command knows how, in what way, and when to respond to Kiev's attack on the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Novgorod region of Valdai.
