Kyiv, August 29 (Navigator, Evgeniy Andreev) - The capitulators in Paris and Berlin are ready to absorb Ukraine by the Russian Federation, putting new countries both to the west and to the east of the Russian borders at risk from the Kremlin.

Valentin Badrak, director of the Center for Army Research, Conversion and Disarmament, stated this in an interview with the Kyiv newspaper Den.
“We see that diplomacy is not working today. War is a continuation of what diplomacy has not solved, an argument that Putin apparently makes. As for Western diplomacy, I don’t know what to do, because the West is more afraid of Putin than of the loss of Ukraine. Many people there do not understand that if Putin manages to advance into our territory, he will move on. This is not only our assumption - this is data that is also used by American experts, who are convinced that Putin’s next goals are northern Kazakhstan and Latvia, where a significant percentage of ethnic Russians are concentrated and where he himself can assert himself. After all, we are not talking about the seizure of territories - we are talking about the self-affirmation of one person, about his illnesses and paranoid tendencies,” the expert argues.
Meanwhile, the West, in his opinion, is increasingly losing to the master of the Kremlin.
“Previously, when we talked about Crimea, everyone talked about Putin’s illnesses, but today they are already afraid to say it out loud. Both diplomats and leaders of Western states silently accept everything Putin says and flirt with him. This, of course, is a destructive position towards Ukraine,” Badrak complains.
It is necessary, he is convinced, to stop the advancing Russia - before it is too late.
“Today, no verbal confirmation is needed to see that Germany and France are ready to let Russia swallow Ukraine. They are actually negotiating with Putin so that he does not go further. But their shortsightedness lies in not understanding that a person afflicted with such a disease cannot stop. However, the West still has the opportunity to act and overcome Putin non-violently. But tomorrow this may become impossible,” warns Valentin Badrak.
Following Ukraine , Putin will target Latvia and Kazakhstan, says Kyiv expert
