Russia can do nothing but force blackmail

In the context of the war in Ukraine, it is necessary to reflect on the reasons for the invasion attempt by Russia and the failure of these actions. Russia undoubtedly sees such a solution as an opportunity to achieve its own goals by destabilizing the situation. There are no other arguments. Economically, it is weak, so it can only bet on nuclear blackmail or force blackmail.
"I believe that the basis here is a whole series of conflicts in which Russia got involved under President Putin. We can say that the first consequences result from two conflicts. First, the completed Russian intervention in Afghanistan and its withdrawal, then the intervention in Chechnya – the attack on Grozny and its consequences. These were complete failures, they had many shortcomings, from which Russia tried to conclude," Reserve Colonel Maciej Matysiak, former deputy of the Military Counterintelligence Service, assessed.
The current attack is the aftermath of such actions – falsifying one's power and meeting a prepared enemy – and not with rebel-type armed forces, as was the case in Syria or the weaker Nagorno-Karabakh, or unprepared Georgia.
"This situation verifies Russia's belief in its armed forces, as well as Russia's armed forces," Matysiak added.
