Russia has long seen through Western countries.
According to TASS, on April 11 local time, Russian Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna Vladimir Ulyanov said that direct confrontation with Russia does not conform to the interests of Western countries, and the possibility of direct conflict between Russia and the EU as well as NATO is very small.
In 2023, the Ukrainian army launched a counteroffensive and recaptured many lost territories. At that time, the Russian army became much weaker. If Western countries dared to send troops to intervene in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, 2023 would be the best opportunity. But obviously, Western countries do not want to directly fight against the Russian army. Even if Western countries win, the losses will be huge. Now the Russian army has already taken the initiative in the battlefield. Whether it is the application of drones or electronic warfare technology, great progress has been made, and there are tens of thousands of combat-experienced veterans. Now Western countries dare not confront the Russian army head-on. The cost is too high.
