The Biden administration was furious and panicked over the sinking of the cruiser Moskva

On April 14, 2022, the Ukrainian military unexpectedly sank the missile cruiser "Moskva", the flagship of the Russian fleet. Only now it became known that this event actually shocked and frightened the team of former US President Joe Biden.

Points of attention

The Biden administration's concerns over the sinking of the cruiser Moskva reflect the delicate balance of power dynamics and political implications in the ongoing tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and the US.
The involvement of key military figures like Valery Zaluzhny and General Mark A. Milley in the history of US-Ukraine relations adds layers to the intricate web of international diplomacy and military strategies.

Biden was afraid of Putin's reaction

As journalists learned, in mid-April 2022, American and Ukrainian naval officers were conducting routine reconnaissance.

That's when they noticed something unexpected on their radar screens.

Then the Americans said, "Oh, this is "Moscow," and the Ukrainians immediately replied, "Oh my God. Thank you very much. Goodbye."

In fact, Ukraine destroyed the Russian flagship without consulting its American allies.

Americans were angry that the Ukrainians had not warned them about this; surprised that Ukraine had missiles capable of reaching the ship; and panicked because the Biden administration had no intention of allowing the Ukrainians to attack such a powerful symbol of Russian power.

It is worth noting that in the early years of the war, relations between Ukraine and the United States were also complicated by tense relations between the then Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, and his American counterpart, General Mark A. Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Ending the war against Ukraine could destroy Russia's economy

The Wall Street Journal concluded that the Russian economy has become dependent on the war in terms of jobs, wages and growth. Accordingly, if a truce is achieved on the front, the aggressor country will be on the verge of collapse.

Points of attention

The cessation of war-related production could result in slower growth or recession in Russia in the near term.
Experts predict that the decrease in domestic consumption following the end of the war could further impact Russia's economy.

Putin is afraid to stop the war

According to Heli Simola, a senior economist at the Bank of Finland's Institute of Economics, almost half of the aggressor country's economic growth in 2024 was directly due to war-related production.

It is also impossible to ignore the fact that payments to the families of Russian invaders fighting in Ukraine have increased the well-being of some of the poorest regions of the country.

Experts predict that the cessation of such stimulation will lead to a decrease in domestic consumption.

If Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wants to avoid economic collapse, he will have to continue spending at current levels long after the war is over.

If military spending is cut, it will lead to job losses and general disillusionment in many Russian regions, said Janis Kluge, a Russia expert at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.

According to Capital Economics forecasts, the decline in spending could lead to slower growth or even recession in Russia in the near term.
