Revealing 3 new conflict locations between the US and Russia after Ukraine
(Baonghean.vn) - According to Ria Novosti on February 4, Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago (USA) said that Washington will not be able to keep calm after Russia's victory in Ukraine. Therefore, the US will try to weaken Russia's influence in other regions.
Professor Mearsheimer named areas where the US could stage another escalation of the conflict with Russia, including the Arctic, the Black Sea and Moldova. In addition, according to this expert, the US could organize a "color revolution" in Belarus.
“There will be no end to the troubles in Ukraine and Eastern Europe,” concluded Professor John Mearsheimer.
Tensions between Russia and the US, since the US and its allies provided Ukraine with a variety of heavy weapons, the conflict in Ukraine broke out in February 2022.
The list of Western-made long-range weapons currently in use by Kiev includes the British-made Storm Shadow missile with a range of 250km and the US-made ATACMS Tactical Missile System with a range of up to 160km.
Earlier this week, Politico reported that the US could provide Ukraine with ground-launched small diameter bombs (GLSDBs), which also have a range of about 160km.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow needs to create a large “demilitarized zone” in Ukraine that is large enough to ensure no long-range weapons can attack Russian cities.
“Demilitarization” and “defascization” of Ukraine are considered the main goals of the special military operation that Russia is conducting. President Putin specifically mentioned a demilitarized zone that is expected to be established in Ukraine by June 2023. At that time, the Russian leader said that this zone could be established if Ukrainian forces continue to launch attacks on Russian cities. Mr. Putin emphasized that the goal of this move is to make it impossible for the Ukrainian army to “reach Russia.”
