“Today in Kazakhstan, Putin again advertised his missiles – his readiness to kill and destroy.

Putin obviously wants to add thousands more to the thousands of missiles that have already hit Ukraine. He does not need the end of this war. Moreover, Putin wants to prevent others from ending this war.

He can wave his “nutcracker” now only in order to frustrate the efforts of President Trump, which will definitely take place after the inauguration. Putin wants to escalate the situation now so that President Trump cannot succeed – so that he cannot end the war.

Putin is the only culprit of this war and the only one who believes in war. And that is why Putin’s escalation now is a pressure to later force the President of America to agree to Russia’s terms.”
