Military expert

Oleg Zhdanov

said that the USA can bombard Russia with missiles in a few hours, but the Russian Federation still wants a war with NATO.

He told about this in an interview 

with

TSN.ua.

"Within a few hours, the United States can launch about 10,000 Tomahawk missiles on the territory of Russia. They will simply bombard them with missiles. This is what NATO is. I no longer take the capabilities of other NATO countries. I take the capabilities of the United States. If the Russian Federation or an allied state... They, by the way, this group in Belarus is being formed as the defense forces of the Union State. That is, somewhere in the Kremlin, a sign of the USSR will appear sooner or later," he said.

According to him, Russia wants to fight with NATO because it is more prestigious to lose to the Alliance than to Ukraine.

"Therefore, I will say this: Putin is very afraid of being declared an aggressor. As Lavrov says: 'We did not invade Ukraine, we are protecting the Russian-speaking population.' stigma that he is an aggressor. He constantly provokes NATO, but in such a way that NATO takes the first aggressive step, the first shot in the direction of the Russian Federation or Belarus. If only as a joke, to declare war and immediately surrender. Maybe so that NATO itself loses , and not to Ukraine," added Zhdanov.

NATO support to Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin is so irritated by the support of Ukraine's allies that he recently declared that a direct confrontation between NATO and the Russian army is extremely dangerous, as it 

would turn into a global catastrophe.

However, Ukraine continues to receive military aid from Western countries.

Thus, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, confirmed that Spain will hand over 

four Hawk air defense systems to the Ukrainian defenders.

According to political analyst Maksym Yakovlev, in the coming years 

after Ukraine's victory, Russia may attack us again

.

However, in order for this not to happen, 

Russia must be demilitarized, denuclearized, and first of all, de-imperialized.
