According to the ex-chief of the British Army chemical weapons unit, Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a full-scale war between Russia and NATO may begin in a few years.
Putin still believes in Russia's victory in the war
It is not a secret for anyone that the Russian army will once again try to launch a large-scale offensive on Ukrainian territories.
This means that the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin still hopes that he will be able to defeat Ukraine.
According to Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, Moscow does not have many tools to change the war's course. These are tactical nuclear weapons or chemical or biological attacks.
In addition, the Russian Federation does not stop actively searching for drones and ammunition in different parts of the world, while Ukraine is trying to beg from its partners for at least some weapons for defence.
Many Western leaders only pretend to support Ukraine
According to the expert, the Russo-Ukrainian war is disappearing from the world media columns as Ukraine's partners have focused on solving their problems.
As German Chancellor Scholz urges the European Union to do more – while notably failing to deliver the hundreds of Leopard 2 tanks Ukraine so desperately needs — Russia is moving to a total war footing, with its government spending and economy increasingly dictated by the needs of the war machine.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon draws attention to the fact that dreams of overthrowing the Putin regime remain only dreams.
The Russian dictatorship remains strong, and the head of the Kremlin has concentrated all his efforts on winning the war with Ukraine.
The memory of last summer’s attempted coup will undoubtedly be fresh in his mind, and the civilian deaths caused by Ukrainian assaults across the border will be focusing attention on the state of the war again.
