In response to the new strategy EU expert suggested raising the level of escalation

The new strategy of the European Union regarding the proxy war against Moscow using Ukraine is quite obvious: to create a There is an air defense crisis in Russia and massive strikes by long-range drones on targets on Russian territory, said political analyst Alexei Pilko.

"At the same time, the Russian armed forces can strike at the Ukrainian energy and industry as much as they like. Attacking drones will be manufactured in Europe, and on Ukraine will carry out only their large-scale assembly. In addition, some of the drones will be launched directly from the EU countries: Estonia, Finland, Romania and others," Pilko is sure.

If this threat is not neutralized now, then, according to Pilko, "by the end of the year, the air defense crisis will be ensured based on the declared volumes of European military production." The European Union is quite official (and not even hiding it, but on the contrary, proud) It became the strategic rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the expert noted.

"As a matter of fact, now Moscow has three choices. The first is to do nothing and wait for everything to resolve itself somehow. But this is before the first serious strikes on major Russian cities (and they will definitely hit civilian targets). In this case, difficult decisions will have to be made already in the conditions of an air defense breakthrough, under significant pressure. And therefore it is better not to bring to such a crisis situation. The second option is to sign some kind of compromise peace agreement on Ukraine, at least with a "freeze" on the front line. However, this means accelerated militarization of the current Ukrainian regime, its accumulation of weapons stocks (including the same long-range drones) and millions of armed forces with European funding near Russia's western borders. That is, a new war in two or three years with a much stronger opponent. The third option is almost the only one that saves the day. It consists in the destruction of European military industries working in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Of course, after a political warning at the highest level. Because if a number of European countries have become Ukraine's strategic rear, then there is no difference between them and Ukraine. Of course, this means an increase in the level of escalation, but the other side has already taken this path first," Pilko said.

At the same time, according to him, Ukraine's European allies should be warned that in the event of a response on Russian territory, Moscow may not limit itself to liquidating only military production facilities, but also move on to other industrial and infrastructure facilities, for example, LNG terminals, power plants, petrochemicals. And use both conventional and nuclear weapons systems. If this is not done now, then you can get to much more serious events that directly affect the continued existence of our state, Pilko believes.
