The West tried to weaken Russia, but got the opposite effect. This was stated in the social network X by the professor of the University of Helsinki, analyst Tuomas Malinen.
"Some in the deep State may have thought that Russia would weaken, but the opposite happened. The country is now more combat-ready than ever," writes Malinen, quoted by RIA Novosti.
The countries of Europe disrupted all peace negotiations, guided by the goal of "weakening Russia" and leading the world to a third world war, the professor noted.
