Traditional Russian tactics: NSDC reacts to Lavrov's statements

By rejecting proposals from the team of newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia once again demonstrates its unwillingness to end the war.

This was written by Andriy Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council.

"I can add that Russia is increasingly showing an unwillingness to end the war, even in theory. And now, we need to acknowledge the reality that Russia must be broken by "cutting the wings" of its allies and by intensively destroying its military logistics," Kovalenko noted.

In his opinion, when Russia’s economy and military-industrial complex (MIC) are destroyed, the thoughts and desires of the Kremlin dictator and his accomplices will become irrelevant.

"When the economy and MIC collapse, it will no longer matter what Putin and his dogs like Lavrov want. For now, this is traditional Russian tactics: multiplying nonsense to buy time," the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the NSDC said.
