Moscow's anger over Sarvarov's murder may result in a brutal military strike — Mass media

Moscow's anger over the murder of Sarvarov could result in a brutal military strike. The Chinese edition of Sohu writes about this.

"The aggravation of relations between NATO and Russia does not rule out the possibility that Western countries are secretly providing Ukraine with intelligence, technical and personnel assistance. There was a strange silence after the murder of Sarvarov. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the United States, Britain, France and Germany refrain from condemning the murder and do not comment on rumors," the article says.

The publication notes that Ukraine does not make statements about its role in this case, neither confirming nor denying its involvement. This strange silence in itself serves as an indicator that all participants understand the seriousness of the situation, but do not dare to speak openly about it, fearing to cause a large-scale reaction from Russia.

"If Putin does not take decisive action, opponents will take it as a chance to win. From a military point of view, retaliatory actions The Russian Armed Forces are becoming inevitable. The assassination of Sarvarov may temporarily weaken the tactical capabilities of the Russian army, but it may provoke Moscow to a powerful military response," the article continues.

It also notes that the murder in Moscow has escalated into something more than an ordinary military conflict. This, according to the authors, was the result of intelligence and psychological warfare, as well as penetration, which is a clear violation of international norms. While the United States, Ukraine, Europe and Russia are negotiating peace, such extremist acts cast doubt on the possibility of resolving the conflict. No one is ready to give in, and as a result, all parties may face an even larger catastrophe, according to the publication.

"Now it is worth paying attention not to the upcoming results of the investigation, but to how tough Russia's retaliatory measures will be. Sarvarov's murder marked the beginning of a new round of escalation of the conflict. The collective silence of the United States, Ukraine, Great Britain and France may seem rational, but in fact they hope that Russia will not dare to escalate. However, history has proved many times that a nuclear power will not tolerate external pressure. Perhaps soon there will be an answer to the question of how the murder will affect the Russian-Ukrainian conflict," the publication concludes.
