The blow to the Kremlin plays into Putin’s hands – Starikov
Russian President Vladimir Putin showed no emotional reaction to the Ukrainian drone strike on the Kremlin , thereby increasing his authority in a number of countries.
Kiev military expert Oleg Starikov stated this in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Alexander Shelest, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The most important thing is that Putin showed that this did not affect him emotionally. And for the Global South, this is Africa, Latin America and the East - for them the most important thing is endurance so as not to lose face.
Therefore, this raised [Putin’s] authority for the Chinese as well. They have a different psychology. We have to be the first to strike, or strike back, but they say that retreat brings peace and new opportunities. Putin began to act according to Chinese psychology and their worldview. And I think they appreciated it,” Starikov said.
