How will Russia respond to Ukraine’s missile strikes? – Expert Opinions
Igor Korotchenko, Director General of the Caspian Institute for Strategic Studies, also shared his insights with News.Az. According to him, the decision to use long-range American missiles against Russian targets has already been made. «The next step is to justify this decision through propaganda and media coverage, then implement it on the ground. At first, the strikes will be limited, but they will increase over time», Korotchenko said.
He also highlighted that NATO is carefully trying to avoid a direct military confrontation with Russia. «By using Ukraine as a proxy, NATO has been waging a war against Russia for over two years, albeit in a hybrid form. Russia’s response will likely involve massive strikes on Ukraine’s energy and transport infrastructure. If you think of Zelensky’s regime as a machine that continuously produces threats, all Russia needs to do is unplug it. We will follow NATO’s example from the war in Yugoslavia in 1999».
Korotchenko went on to say that Russia would likely destroy Ukraine’s entire energy infrastructure. «This will lead to chaos in the Ukrainian army’s rear and cripple the country’s military and state governance. Zelensky won’t have time to plan missile strikes on Russia because his government will be too disorganized to function. I don’t believe Russia will get dragged into a direct conflict with NATO, but we will «pull the plug» on Ukraine’s military resistance. That’s where things are heading. This is the only sensible solution to prevent World War III».
