"I bet it will be 'Oreshnik' – Russia will strike European targets in Ukraine."
Russia will not launch retaliatory strikes against Ukrainian targets.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson stated this in an interview with blogger Mario Naufal, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" If I were them, I'd take the Oreshnik [plant] and destroy the SBU headquarters. I'd simply destroy it . I think one of the reasons the Russians haven't done that yet is because they have informants in key positions in the Ukrainian government.
"They're not striking targets that could be high-priority targets because they don't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Perhaps the Russians will realize that this wasn't Zelenskyy's order, but the result of a split within the Ukrainian system. Then they might start hunting for the conspirators," Johnson said.
He believes that retaliatory strikes will not disrupt the negotiations because they have already been disrupted.
"Judging by the news, I think we'll see a serious retaliatory strike. I'm willing to bet it will be 'Oreshnik.' They could very well strike anywhere in Ukraine where there are British officers or where covert operations are being conducted. They could also become a target. I think Russia will now deliberately strike certain European targets in Ukraine," Johnson said.
