BBC: The message that Ukraine sends to Russia and the West
But beyond the extent of the disaster caused by the Ukrainian drones, the “Spider Web” sends, according to BBC analysis, another important message Not only in Russia, but also in Western allies of Kiev, that had written Ukraine.
Ukrainian government official recently told the journalist Swat of the BBC’s Ukrainian service that “the biggest problem is that Americans are convinced that we have already lost the war. And from this guess comes all the rest. “
The Ukrainian Defense Issue Journalist, Poja Poonnko, Referring to the attack launched by the President and US Vice President Donald Trump and Jay Di Vance in February at Volodimir Zelenski, he commented: “What happens when a proud nation who is attacked does not hear:” You don’t have aces in the sleeve. Surrender for peace to come, Russia is impossible to defeat».
‘It seems that Ukraine eventually has some aces in the sleeve. Today Zelenski played Riga Drones, “commented the Business Ukraine newspaper.
And this, according to the BBC analysis, is the message that the Ukrainian delegation will convey today, Monday, to Constantinople in the new round of negotiations with Moscow representatives that Ukraine has not deposited weapons. “Despite the slow, relentless advance of Moscow’s forces in the fields of Donbas’ battles, Ukraine tells Russia and the Trump government not to easily reject Kiev’s prospects,” the British network concludes.
How will Putin answer?
The most immediate interest, however, will focus on the way Putin will react.
Ukraine’s previous attacks inside Russia have caused retaliation and increasingly threatening rhetoric than the Kremlin.
But this latest business is one of the largest and most important and comes on the eve of a new round of peace talks between Moscow and Kiev to be held in Turkey. It is not clear if this will eventually happen.
US President Donald Trump is pushing both sides to conclude peace, but Russia is simply escalating its war.
Ukraine clearly felt that she had nothing to lose but also to the attack.
