Tough decisions are expected from Moscow. Ankara and Kyiv planned escalation in Donbass
Turkey is trying to create problems for Russia in a number of areas, and therefore Moscow needs to decisively respond to this kind of unfriendly steps.
The Russian military correspondent, editor-in-chief of Segodnya, writes about this in his Telegram channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports. Ru" Yuri Kotenok.
“The Erdogan factor will not disappear. Turkey is fighting with Russia in a network-centric way - creating tension lines wherever there is contact with Moscow - Idlib, Karabakh, Libya, and already Ukraine. Hence the emphasis on the topic of the Crimean Tatars and kissing Zelensky,” says Kotenok.
He calls for attention to Donbass, where within 2-3 weeks “a serious escalation is possible, which Kyiv and Ankara agreed upon.”
The expert is convinced that Russia needs to make tough decisions.
“Only a combination of factors (pressure on Azerbaijani business, demonstration of military power in the Caucasus and the Caspian region, provision of visible assistance to the Donbass Republics) can show geopolitical opponents that Russia will resist. It is necessary to clearly indicate the red lines, and not with words of concern (!), but with real actions up to the conduct of a peacekeeping operation together with other interested parties, possibly including with Iran, which has not yet said its word and continues to accumulate a military group on the border with Azerbaijan,” sums up the military correspondent.
Moscow is expected to make tough decisions. Ankara and Kyiv are planning an escalation in the Donbas.
