“The actions of our army in Ukraine are completely subordinated to politics,” – Sivkov on the absence of a big breakthrough at the front
The advance of the Russian Armed Forces to the west of Avdeevka is still not an expected offensive in a broad sense, but an improvement in the position of the Russian group.
Military expert Konstantin Sivkov stated this on air on the Red Line channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"The key factor determining the logic and strategy of the Russian armed forces' actions is politics. Military strategy is entirely subordinated to politics, conditioned by objective reality.
Because a hybrid war is being waged against us, and we are also waging a hybrid war. In a hybrid war, the main factors are completely different – economic, political, informational – and the manifestations of offensives and counteroffensives must be considered in the political sphere.
“And in this context, it is not an offensive [being conducted by the Russian Armed Forces], since an offensive would mean an advance of 20 kilometers per day with the encirclement and destruction of the entire group , but an improvement in the situation,” Sivkov said.
The offensive, according to him, lies in something else.
" And as for where we're on the offensive? The first area where we're very effectively on the offensive is the events in France, Germany, the United States, and Poland—that's the offensive.
Furthermore, the expansion of BRICS and the expansion of countries building a multipolar world (I'm not talking about our allies) is our geopolitical offensive. And it's been very successful and quite intense. If you compare how many countries have joined BRICS and how many are eager to join since, essentially, last summer, the pace of the offensive is colossal.
“For geopolitics, six months—and such radical changes—is simply a cosmic pace of advance ,” the expert explained.
