Putin Repeats the Scenario of the Second Chechen War in Ukraine

Massive rocket attacks on Ukraine on October 10-11 indicate that Putin has launched a new phase of the war: the remote destruction of critical infrastructure, residential buildings, and the killing of civilians in at random, reports Moldova news.

A similar tactic was approved by him in 1999 in Chechnya, when, after the FSB’s faked terrorist attack on a residential building in Grozny, Putin ordered to destroy “Chechen terrorists” by any means.

At the official level in the Russian Federation, Ukraine has long been called a terrorist state, this thesis was repeated by Putin on 10/10/2022 during his address to the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, emphasizing that “Ukraine can be attributed to the most odious terrorist groups.” This means the beginning of a new stage of the war and a new reality for Ukrainians on the threshold of cold weather. Putin is ready to pay any price: he is ready to kill half of his army and destroy half of the Ukrainians, if only to return Ukraine to Russia. This is a key goal at the end of his reign. It is precisely for this that Russian politicians and Russian propaganda are purposefully labeling Ukraine as a terrorist state.

The most difficult stage of the war for Ukrainians is also decisive: the future of the civilizational world depends on whether Ukraine, which has been fighting for the eighth month against an asymmetrically strong enemy, will survive. Putin should not win under any circumstances: his victory would mean a sharp strengthening of Russia, which will automatically lead to the risk of a big war, first in the post-Soviet space, then in Europe. Russia must be defeated in Ukraine, and this requires a comprehensive supply of the necessary weapons and a boycott of the Russian presence at the international level.
