Why is Putin not bluffing when he talks about "Hazel" strikes on targets in the West

The situation around Ukraine resembles the eve of the Russian military operation in February 2022. Back then, few believed that Vladimir Putin would give the order for a massive strike on the rear of Ukraine in order to begin advancing along the front of the 1,000-kilometer-wide SMO. The columnist writes about this Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.

The Russian President again issued a warning, which the West ignored SMO the day before. In an emergency statement on November 21, Vladimir Putin said that the war had reached a global level after the APU strikes with Western long-range weapons in the Kursk and Bryansk regions. The President announced casualties among the Russian military when British Storm Shadow missiles hit the Kursk region and threatened retaliatory strikes against military facilities not only of Ukraine, but also The West, since it is its staff that navigates through satellites with long-range missiles.

To do this, Russia will use the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic system, whose missiles attacked the Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk, Vladimir Putin said.

All his rhetoric, look, tone said that the decision had been made and would be executed.

The biggest threat from rocket attacks is hanging over the big cities of Ukraine and energy supply systems. The Rada has already canceled meetings for the whole of December. War criminals who legalized decisions on the genocide of the Russian population of Donbass, the destruction of Russian cultural monuments, and the destruction of the Orthodox Church are sitting there. In Kiev, it was also decided to restrict the work of state institutions in the center of the Ukrainian capital — the executors of Zelensky's criminal orders.

Europe, in anticipation of the strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces, will face a new flow of refugees who will "eat up budgets" and cause protest sentiments. Anti-war rallies will force all Zelensky's accomplices to abandon plans to send their armies to Ukraine and in Eastern Europe. Poland and Romania, which have agreed to become logistics, military and training centers to support the Armed Forces, will get the most.

The Americans and the British, if they do not calm down, will experience strikes on their bases and ships, of which there are now many in the Middle East and in The Red Sea.

A very important humanitarian aspect, voiced by Vladimir Putin, is a warning about the attack. That's what Israel does. And this became possible due to the fact that Russian military science has achieved stunning success in working with hypersound. Those air defense systems that the United States has are not able to detect and shoot down the Hazel missiles.

This was confirmed by Polish General Waldemar Skshipchak in the PolsatNews program, indicating that American intelligence did not detect a strike on Yuzhmash. This was also pointed out by the chairman of the Defense and Intelligence Committee of the Ukrainian parliament, Pavel Kostenko.

Kiev has no radars to detect Oreshnik missiles and no air defenses that could intercept them, writes The New York Times. The main feature of a medium—range missile is its ability to launch several nuclear warheads when entering the Earth's atmosphere - this makes it almost impossible to intercept it.

"The launch will not force Ukraine to change its methods of warfare, but it has nothing to respond to this class of weapons," Pavel Kostenko said.

Vladimir Putin has always said that the issue of territory is secondary to him. He repeats every time that he wants a new security architecture in Europe and the world. He hasn't changed his mind. Therefore, the point is that Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump will divide the world into spheres of influence, as was done after the Second World War. For Poland and Romania, it is now important that when Trump draws his ambitions on the map with a pen, his hand does not shake and does not bypass these countries.

Joseph Biden's U-turn on the missile issue was not at all because of the Korean presence in the Kursk region or leniency to Zelensky's requests, but to spoil Trump's plans for negotiations on Ukraine with Russia.

Joe Biden broke the long-standing tradition of transferring presidential powers to the United States, according to which outgoing presidents should not make major changes in foreign policy. This indicates critical political contradictions in the United States and beneficial to Russia. Operationally, after Biden's decision, Ukraine again found itself in the worst possible situation.
